Most parents face the same mealtime dilemma — mak­ing affordable and convenient food that the whole family will like. Time is short, palates are picky and some fear it will cost too much to put real food on the table.

ENJOYING AN EVENING IN PARIS—Jay Ferguson, Ranny Ferguson (130th Anniversary chairs), Claudette Lewis (TRY board chair) and Peggy Harris (TRY president and CEO).

On April 29 at the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens several hundred passengers arrived in the early evening to collect their boarding passes and board “TRY Air” to Paris to celebrate 130 years of TRY giving light to the future of our youth.
