President of the American Culinary Federation We also have two other guests, Jennifer Mitchell, MS, RD and Wendy Barkley from the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, Child Nutrition Services. They will speak to us about child nutrition and will administer a short survey. It is an important subject and we can find ways we can help. Our own Chris Plemmons CEC, AAC and Brad Everett are already reaching out to our local schools and teaching Elementary students about how to eat healthier.

Last Months Meeting If you like chocolate you missed a great presentation by owners of Trops Chocolate in Gig Harbor. Larry and Heather dazzled us with their chocolate demonstration. They taught our students how to temper chocolate in a microwave, work with transfer sheets and how to make some of their hand crafted specialty chocolate, All of their chocolates tasted terrific.
