Geppetto’s Log - Stardate 021722.1

An excellent meal from an unsung location.

Event after event takes place downtown at the Salem Conference Center. Breakfast events aren’t as common as lunch and dinner.

This morning… breakfast with the Chief was well attended and absolutely inspirational. Did I mention there was bacon? Bacon, scrambled eggs, potatoes and coffee!

How do they do it at SCC? Delicious food… served hot… when it’s meant to be hot… to hundreds of people… all pretty much at the same time.

The crew at SCC deserves recognition. They provide great food, service and professionalism… no matter the cause.

SCC has suffered great losses through the pandemic. No in person events… could kill an event space. But SCC did not die. They knew what to do to persevere. And as hard as the decisions and choices were to make… they did it.

SCC is gradually returning to a semblance of normal. While group size fluctuates by necessity… food quality and the high level of service provided does not.

While benefiting from the venue… I made a new friend today. Her name is Shelby. She is nothing but just a hound dog. She is energetic, loving and very slobbery. Her handler, Officer Merritt was kind enough to pose for photos.

Thank you to Salem Conference Center, chefs, servers, crew and management.

Thank you to all who serve! Everyone… stay strong and stay safe!
