Annual Events include

 

June — Escoffier Dinner

New members are welcomed at this dinner, which also honors our organization’s namesake, Auguste Escoffier (1846-1935). Escoffier was a great chef and culinary innovator, as well as a community and  philanthropic leader. His son, also a chef, died on the Titanic, and Escoffier was instrumental in raising money for the families of kitchen workers lost in that tragedy. 

• November — Harvest Home Reception
Prospective members are introduced at this event, which also celebrates the bounty of the Midwest’s autumn harvest.

• Spring & Fall — Membership Meetings
Two required membership meetings are held each year; one is typically hosted by a member’s business, while the other is a teleconference.

• Ongoing — Member Activities
Learning, networking, community outreach and philanthropic activities are ongoing throughout the year.
