BCNC staff, Miao Ling Zhu, will retire on December 18th, 2020, after three decades of dedicated service to BCNC as the cook for the Acorn Center for Early Education and Care. During her 30 years tenure, Ling served over 1 million meals to our preschool children. Her favorite memory is the annual Harvest Feast Luncheon when children, parents, grandparents, and staff celebrated the winter holidays together. Since many of the immigrant families did not know how to make turkey, it made Ling felt really happy when families gave compliments on how the turkey was juicy and delicious.

Ling kept up with all the Servsafe guidelines and passed every health inspection. Through the efforts of Ling and the staff team, every child who came through the Acorn program was fed healthy meals. BCNC sends Ling our best wishes and a happy retirement!
