Reception To Honor
Dot Owens
A reception honoring retiring
Polk County School Food
Services Supervisor Dot Owens
will be held at Mill Spring School
on Sunday, June7, from 3—5 p.m.
All friends and co workers are
invited.
Born in Ellenboro, Mrs. Owens
(the former Dot Lynch) grew up
in Mill Spring and joined the
county school system as
lunchroom manager at Mill
Spring High School in 1952. In
1960 she transferred to the newly
opened Polk Central High School,
where she managed food services
for 12 years In 1971, she was
promoted to the position of Food
Services Supervisor, overseeing
the lunch program at all six
county schools.
The nutritional services her
department has helped to develop
include Federal Type A lunch
guidelines which guarantee
children one-third of their
nutritional requirements of their
noon meal; the elementary
school breakfast program; and a
high school salad bar
She retired this month after 30
years, "having contributed
greatly to the organization and
nutritional purpose of our lunch
program", says School
Superintendent Larry Coble. "I
take with me", says Mrs. Owens,
“many, many fond memories.”
