Board meetings are monthly with next one scheduled for Sept. 9. Save The Date for CCK’s Annual Meeting on Oct. 14, a time for all to learn about the organization (plus there will be some wonderful food).
Board members help plan, organize, and support great activities like the annual Kids Cooking Camp. This year’s camp had record participation. Five fun days lead by Judy Radant and Courtney Stinson allowed kids in grades 1-3 and 4-6 opportunities to learn safe food practices, kitchen techniques, and fun recipes. Always something new each day. This is the third year the camp has been held, but the first working in partnership with Chelsea Community Education.
See www.chelseacommunitykitchen.org for more details about programs. CCK works in cooperation with other community groups to achieve their goals. Classes also planned in conjunction with Faith in Action and their signature Expert Series that gives in depth look at special techniques.
