Once again, the Chefs from the ACF Gulf to Lakes Chefs & Cooks Association led by Chef Dane Gillis, CEC, ACE; and Jeffrey Rotz, CEC, CCE, AAC and students from Eustis High School,  and Leesburg High School were out in full force to support the Christian Care Center (CCC)  Yesterday  (Saturday, 4-21-2012) students met at the CCC in Leesburg because they felt it was more important to bring some happiness to others. These are high school students that could have been doing other things (movies, shopping, dating, etc.) volunteered their time to help someone less fortunate.   Is this not the true meaning of giving back to the community?   Everyone had a fantastic time.

The principal goal of the founding chefs remains true to the ACF today - to promote the professional image of American chefs worldwide through education among Culinarians at all levels, from apprentices to the most accomplished Certified Master Chefs. Successful Culinarians know the value of belonging to the oldest and largest organization of chefs and cooks in the United States. 1929-1999
