APRIL MEETING

Our April apprenticeship fundraising meeting had some great tasting appetizers and desserts that our members sampled. We appreciate all the schools that participated; they were Le Cordon Bleu, Renton Technical College, Lake Washington Technical College, Olympic Community College, Bellingham Technical College, Puget Sound Skills Center and West Sound Technical Skills Center. The best appetizer was won by the Renton Technical team, and the best dessert was one by the West Sound Technical Skills Center team.


During our April meeting we presented our annual Evelyn Enslow scholarship for a $1,000.00 to Dustin Buchholz West South Tech Skills Center student. Dustin plans on attending Seattle Central Community College.
