Chapter Message
I hope that you will mark your datebooks for our upcoming chapter meetings scheduled through June. We will be travelling to Edwards Hams this month, join Win Goodier and his culinary students in May at Hermitage for a program on Richmond’s efforts to promote local sourcing and healthy eating in schools and, in June, we are invited to the Wild T Bison farm for an afternoon on the ranch!
We also need your participation in several events: the chapter will be at the Williamsburg Farmer’s Market, Saturday morning, June 30th for our traditional market basket competition/public demonstration and on Sunday, June 3rd, the chapter will participate in our fundraising efforts with street food and Williamsburg Hospice House’s “Dancing in the Streets”. Our chapter is dependent upon funds raised through our own efforts and it would be good if chapter members would be present!
A tip of the toque to chapter members in the news recently: Chef Marcel Desaulniers is about to open his chocolate café/bistro in Williamsburg; Chef Peter Pahk was honored in the recent edition of The National Culinary Review and Chef Renny Parziale was on local television! Congratulations to you!
Looking forward to seeing everyone at Edwards!
