Our own Chef Kevin Barko was our speaker last week.  Kevin shared about his experience at the Super Bowl where they raised over $2 million in one day to support a charity which helps to remove the stigma of being "that kid" who gets a free lunch.  What a heart warming story.   Chef also spoke of his involvement and support of aspiring young chefs in the C-CAP program and his road from a youngster who loved cooking (no cooking until I get home Kevin--Mom) to a chef with his own successful business and training company.  I think we can all agree that Kevin is an asset to our community and to our club.  Thank you Chef.
