What a busy few weeks it has been.  One of our favorite things to do here is help non profit organizations raise funds.  It helps us tell people about what we do, and it also helps the non profit organization raise money for their cause. 

Recently, we teamed up with Chef Jon Soileau, Top's Cabinetry and Appliances, and The Down Syndrome Association of Acadiana (DCAA) for "Cool, I Can Cook",  an interactive cooking class for young people with Down Syndrome. Jon and I taught participants with Down Syndrome how to make meatballs and marinara sauce.  At the end of the class, participants got to enjoy the meal they created.  Immediately after the feast, our students began setting up for a fund raising dinner of spaghetti and meatballs, caeser salad, bread, panna cotta, and canoli's.  We served over 100 people, the kids got to serve, entertain and inspire everone who attended.   What a great night!

A special thanks to Shauna Escot, DSSA, Jon & Danielle Soileau, my sister-in-law Karen, my wife Lori, and all of the parents, volunteers and people who purchased tickets.  The event was a huge success!
