Santa Rosa, CA. ~ I cant think of a more positive oppor- tunity for students who attend the SRJC Culinary Arts pro- gram. Front House Operations Director Betsy Fischer invited me to meet these wonderful, happy and enthusiastic stu- dents to talk to them about their experience working with the Culinary Career Center's Event Assistance Service Program.

Edie burns tell me about one particular event she helped with in Sebastopol, an Irish Party and really had a great time preparing tradition- al soups and grilled cheese sandwiches while listening to great music. It was the first time in many years the host could actually visit with all her friends and family. Betsy Fischer encapsulates
it best, "The SRJC Culinary Arts Programs gives its stu- dents hands-on experience in the food world by connecting them with clients who hire them for events.
