CFUW Welland & District is out for summer. Another season of activities and advocacy wrapped up in style on Tuesday, June 17th when club members met for a delectable end of year dinner hosted at E.L. Crossley Secondary School. The master chef was none other than Andrew Robertson. Together with his colleague, Angela Desmond, and students in the Specialized School to Community (SSTC) Culinary Program, Andy treated the women of our club to more than just a meal to remember. It was a treat to see (and taste) the skills that students have the opportunity to acquire as part of their public education in our district. We look forward to sampling a lot more of the creations that come out of Eddie Lou’s Bistro and the Hilltop Bake Shop in the future!
