Cathy Sackett started with the Mandarins in 2011 and is known to Jim Tabuchi as the “Million Meal Momma Sackett” because if you added up all of the meals that she and her team served during her period as kitchen manager, it would actually be close to one million. Under Cathy’s leadership, the corps revolutionized its food service model to support a growing membership, adding over 20,000 meals per season. Prior to the creation of the current Health and Wellness team, Cathy and her team also served as the medical team. Perhaps most notably, Cathy led her team through the transition from a box truck to our current Mushu semi trailer. This involved reinventing all the kitchen processes, such as setup, food ordering, and cleanup. Besides her incredible work with the kitchen crew, Cathy also volunteered on the Mandarins Board of Directors.
