Invitation to Attend

2008 CALIFORNIA CHAPTER CONFERENCE

OCTOBER 19-22, 2008 RADISSON HOTEL SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA

The Association of Correctional Food Service Affiliates (ACFSA) is an international non-profit organization dedicated to the professional growth of correctional food service employees. This organization was formed in 1969 to enhance, represent and promote the correctional segment of the food service industry. Our members are food service professionals working in correctional facilities and agencies within the federal, state and county prison/jail systems in California and possibly some surrounding states.

The mission of ACFSA is to encourage standards of excellence and professionalism within its membership that will enhance the food service operations in the correctional system.

I would like to invite you to attend our conference October 19-22, 2008 at the Radisson Hotel in Sacramento, CA. It will be an invaluable experience to network other correctional food service professionals and exchange ideas.

This year’s theme is “Are You Ready? Food Service Crisis Management.” One of our keynotespeakers is Major R.J. Beach, Food Service Director for Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office in NewOrleans. He was at work in his multi-story jail, housing thousands, when Hurricane Katrina hit. His jail was flooded with several feet of water and he didn’t leave for 5 days. Come here his story of how they managed.

Kurt Greiner and Ray Bullock, Assistant Food Service Director’s at San Diego Sheriffs Departmentassisted with emergency feeding during the San Diego wildfires. They will discuss the logistics andchallenges involved when called on to help in a public emergency.

We will also discuss how to handle the escalating food costs, purchasing challenges, medical, religious and allergy diets, preparing for inspections, to name a few topics.

On Sunday, we will offer the mandatory training called ”Food Safety Manager Certification Class.”This class is required by state law in the California Retail Food Code that at least one person perfacility be certified.

We will also feature a large vendor show so you can see all the latest and greatest equipment. Foodvendors will serve you some samples of their finest products and answer questions about their products.

On behalf of the California Chapter of Association of Correctional Affiliates, I personally extend an invitation to you to attend our State conference. It will be worthwhile. Please consider attending and bringing other staff members with you. I hope to see you in October, 2008. Sincerely,

Laurie Maurino, R.D.President, California Chapter - ACFSASusanville, CA 96130Phone (530-251-5100 ext. 5445) E-mail: Laurie.Maurino@cdcr.ca.gov
