Dear Club Chef,

Last Tuesday, we were graciously hosted at the Lotos Club by the General Manager John Mc Grath, the Assistant General Manager John Donovan, the Executive Chef Raymond Hollanda and their entire staff. There, we had the pleasure to have a very interesting and captivating seminar by David Arnold and Jim Joseph of the French Culinary Institute. Their lecture on technological advancement in the kitchen environment was followed by a wonderful luncheon from Chef Raymond. From the hors d'oeuvres to the dessert, Raymond and his staff kept on teasing and satisfying our gastronomic senses. It was unfortunate that so many of the club members were not in attendance.

Please try to attend those 3 or 4 hours a month we get to spend together at the meetings. It is very encouraging when there is a good turn out at any particular gathering, especially when so many preparations are made—not just by the hosting chef, but also by the speakers who take the time out of their schedules for our benefit.

The board has sent out a revised list of outstanding charges. Please submit payment upon receipt to your club’s accounting department for prompt payment. We thank you in advance for your cooperation. We also suggest and recommend payments to be made in advance at all times.

Our June Dinner will be on June 6th at 6:30 pm. The location has been changed. We will be going to the Sterling Inn in New Rochelle which will be an easier access for our members coming from areas other than Westchester and Connecticut.
Their address is: 1279 North Ave

The cost of the dinner is $85.00 per person. I encourage you to bring your partner! Please call me by June 2nd to let me know if you plan on attending and how many will be in your party.

The annual golf outing will be at Morefar on September 11th.The cost is $ 160 per person. It will include lunch from 12 noon to 1pm, refreshments on the course and barbecue and spirits after golf. Please call Victor Boyd at (845) 279- 7179 if you have any questions.

Congratulations to Mr Victor Boyd who has become a member of the CMAA, and I want to take this opportunity to welcome this particular fore father of our association as an honorary member of the CCW.

Now that the busy season is practically upon us, the board and I wish you a great summer. Our next meeting will be at Quaker Ridge Golf Club on September 12th at 6:00pm. Out of courtesy, please remember to call Chef Wayne Kregling at (914)725-1100 to reserve.

Also, remember out of courtesy for the chefs and the clubs that host our meetings, that your cell phones should be either off or on vibrate.

Our condolences to Chef Michael Garfunkel who has just lost his mother. Our prayers are with you.

Thank you very much for your continued support!
