ISPE-CaSA Weekly Update

ISPE-CaSA Members Share Quarantine Stories
|
|
Last week, ISPE-CaSA President LeAnna Pearson issued a call for quarantine stories.
Between work and virtual meetings, LeAnna has been baking bread for her neighbors. Her nephew calls her creations "Care Bread" because giving food to those in need is LeAnna's way of showing others she cares. She also posted a link to No Kid Hungry, a charity that allows anyone to donate food or funding to help those in need across all states in our region and beyond.
"I don’t always know the people, and that is the best part for me, that I can take something that I do that calms me and use it to provide a moment of care and comfort for someone I don’t yet know," she wrote. Here is a photo of LeAnna's Care Bread.
LeAnna asked for your stories and you responded.

Erich Bozenhardt,
a process manager with IPS of Garner, is putting his skills to good use by baking bread too. He showcases four special varieties.
"My Easter bread board: cherry cheese baka, chocolate baka, sourdough rye, and österbrot," he said. "I might
not
have had the flours that I would have normally used but that is where a little process engineering comes in handy."

Theresa Leahy
got creative with the bandannas her company, AEI | Affliated Engineers, Inc. provided for the March 10 Technology Life Sciences Conference. Leahy, who is Director of Business Development at AEI, is crafting face masks from those bandannas.
"I downloaded a pattern and have been making masks for those who need them," she wrote. "At least as many as my wrist can bear after surgery in in late February. And while the bandannas we donated to ISPE CASA for the conference giveaway were not quite large enough for my pattern, I made this one using one of the bandannas."
If you want to share a story or photo with a short caption, please email it us at

and we will share it in our next eblast!
