October 2014
Is it truly possible that the Holiday season is already upon us? Things have been busy at your favorite culinary school this year (that’s us :o)! Our most recent wine tasting event was a huge success, so I guess that means we’ll have to keep doing them. In fact, we may be trying to squeeze in one more before holiday break…..at the moment it looks like Thursday, December 18th. What a great way to celebrate the end of the year, or what a nice gift to give someone for the holidays.
We have our last Open House of the year coming up on Saturday, December 13th. Chef Meyer will be doing a holiday baking class, we’ll be giving tours of the school, there will be snacks (as always), and maybe best of all, we are doing a bake sale to benefit “No Kid Hungry”. Our talented baking staff will be creating a variety of goods for purchase. You can order ahead of time, or you can show up during open house and be surprised by the selection. Whatever you choose, all the profits are going to charity!
Our annual food drive begins on November 3rd and runs until November 21st for St. Mary’s Food bank. Donations will be accepted on campus, so if you’d like to contribute some non-perishable foods, please stop by to help the less fortunate.
The last thing I will mention is that our ACI Fellowship program is up and running. I think it’s going to be really special, and a great chance for our “over-achiever” students to squeeze a little more education out of the experience. If you want more info, just contact me (Chef Wolf) at the school, and we’ll schedule a time to talk about it.
I would like to personally wish all of you a safe Halloween, and a great start to your holiday season.
Thanks for making ACI a part of you life.
Chef Christopher Wolf, CCC, CCE, CSW, CPI
