The Friends of the Food Industry (FOFI) held its first event in three years recently when they gathered at Hackensack Golf Club in Oradell, NJ. FOFI was organized to provide financial assistance to people employed in the food industry and their families when they have fallen on difficult times. At the event, Mike Ryan, former executive director of the EFRA, donated the remaining balance of the now-defunct organization to FOFI. Pictured at the event are (l-r) Jeremy Holland, ASM; Pat Shiels, Village Super Markets; Mike Ryan, Tree Tavern Pizza; Kevin McDonnell, Price Rite Marketplace; Ken Atkinson, Douglas Sales; and Ken Scher, Associated Supermarket Group.
