President's Message

April/May 2008

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to Thank Chef David Wolf, CEC, and the Hyatt on Capitol Square for hosting our March general meeting. The food, service and hospitality were exceptional. I would also like to Thank Chef Whilfred Beriau from Portland, Maine for a very informative educational program on Maine Lobsters. The presentation and demonstration was fantastic and very well received by all who attended.

The Northeast Regional Conference of the American Culinary Federation was held in Cincinnati on April 4 thru 7 and was well attended by our chapter. We had over 20 members in attendance. The ACF Columbus Chapter received a Chapter Achievement Award from the Northeast Regional Vice President Chef Mark Wright, CEC, AAC. Chef David Wolf, CEC received a national Presidential Medallion from our national President Chef John Kinsella, CMC, AAC.

Our annual fundraiser with Children’s Hunger Alliance A Taste to Remember will be held on Wednesday May 21, 2008, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium. If you would like to volunteer please contact Jim Taylor.

I hope to see all of you at our next general meeting that will be held at Sysco Central on Harrison Road.

Sincerely,

Jim Taylor, CEC, AAC
President
