Long winter....

It has been a long and cold winter and after a much needed break I am back in action, ready to bring you my little view of the world. So much is going on at Farina's at this time that it almost seems overwhelming. After almost 4 years of working together Corey (one of our chef's) will be leaving us in the next 2 months, he has decided to join the army and see the world and he will be greatly missed. Lauren who has been doing set up for us for about 2 years has left to go to school full time in Iowa, we wish her the best of luck and she is welcome back anytime. With so many of our favorite people moving on ( tear!!) we have opened up a lot of new positions in the building and are in the middle of a hiring frenzy, it's always exciting and a little scary to hire new people. Farina's staff are like family to my mom and myself and so it's like getting a new member of our family. Our outlook is really positive and we feel strongly that we have had some great candidates and also some really good new hires!!! We look forward to cultivating a relationship with them in the future. Some other interesting Farina news is about all the updating and renovating that we are working on in the building, if you haven't been in lately come by and check out all the fun stuff that we are up to. Last but not least we have partnered up again with The Judson Center in royal oak and are using their excellent staff of people in our building!! the do a terrific job in keeping our place neat and tidy and we are glad to have them back in our building.
Keep reading for more updates and insights.
