number of lunches served
grew by about 17 percent, offi
cials say. Still, thousands of
children eligible for the pro
gram never took part in a single
meal.
"There are a lot of kids who
are not accessing the program
who in fact could," said
Superintendent Don Martin.
"The whole effort is how we
mobilize folks who can work
out a way the kids make it ...
We stand ready at the school
district to do anything we can
to make this happen."
Though the funding for the
meals is readily available, vol
unteers are needed to man feed
ing sites and even offer trans
portation in some instances so
that children may access them,
Martin says.
uicic s aiways a a gap,
and the gap in this program is
getting kids to the program," he
stated.
Rev. Linda Beal, President
of the Ministers' Conference of
Winston-Salem and Vicinity,
was among those in attendance
Friday. Beal said she planned
to make a recommendation to
members of the conference to
get involved in the program this
year.
"We have a moral obliga
tion to help them and to make
sure that they have a good
lunch, not only when school is
in session but when it's out of
session as well," she remarked.
Members of Calvary
Baptist Church joined the effort
last year, supplying meals to 61
children at the Hanes Hosiery
Recreation Center.
The church hopes to
increase that number to 75 chil
dren this year, according to
Alexandra Milner, director of
community ministries.
"It was a wonderful experi
ence," she -commented "We
befriended (Director)- Art
(filevins) and all the kids down
there and really forged a strong
relationship with Hanes
Hosiery Recreation C enter.
Summer feeding sites may
be opened in locations that
serve 50 or more children a
day, provided that at least 50
percent of the population is eli
gible for free or reduced lunch
during the regular school year.

Wake Forest has been one of
only a few national universities
administering undergraduate
and graduate business programs
entirely separately. Deans Jack

Babcock School, both accom

Barron's magazine twice
named Reinemund to ? its
"World's Most Respected CEO
List." BusinessWeek magazine
twice included Reinemund
(2002 and 2004) in its list of
"Top 25 Managers." Other pub
lications and organizations have
recognized him similarly.
BusinessWeek honored
Reinemund for "constant inno
vation and savvy moves" that
took PepsiCo to new levels of
success. The magazine declared
that Reinemund 's "greatest
achievement is in developing
people," noting that he personal
ly mentored and taught staff and
required that all in the compa
ny's senior ranks do the same.
Reinemund has been espe
cially recognized for his success
in bringing diversity to PepsiCo.
At a Wake Forest conference in
which he participated, "Why
Work: Business, Professions
and the Common Good,"
Reinemund recalled that diver
sity effort.
"The diversity journey for
me was a very personal one as
well as a professional one. . . .
We started with a vision? that
vision is, that from the board
room to the front line, we want
ed the people Who are PepsiCo
to reflect the consumers we
serve around the world,"
Reinemund said.
His efforts in support of
diversity have prompted such
awards as The Man Who Did
the Most for Women Award
from the National Council for
Research on Women, the
National Equal Justice Award
from the NAACP Legal Defense
Fund, and the President's Award
from the National Council of La
Raza. Upon Reinemund's retire
ment, PepsiCo established the
Reinemund Diversity and
Inclusion Legacy Award to rec
ognize individuals within the
company who demonstrate con
sistent, significant contributions
toward fostering diversity and
inclusion at PepsiCo and in the
community.
Reinemund is a graduate of
the U.S. Naval Academy. He
received a Master of Business
Administration degree at the
Darden Graduate School of
Business Administration at the
University of Virginia.
He served five years as an
officer in the U.S. Marin
Corps, achieving the rank 8f
captain.
