The American Culinary Federation, Inc., a
professional, not-for-profit organization for chefs and cooks, was founded
in 1929 in New York City by three chefs organizations: the Societe
Culinaire Philanthropique, the Vatel Club, and the Chefs Association of
America. 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.

Once again, the ACF Gulf to Lakes Chefs & Cooks Association, Lake County High School's Culinary Programs, their families and friends were out in full force to support the Christian Care Center (CCC) and those that are less fortunate. This morning (Saturday, 1-24-09) some of us met at Eustis High School (EHS) at 6:15 AM and the rest met at the CCC in Leesburg. These are high school students that could have been doing other things, such as sleeping volunteered their time to help someone less fortunate. These wonderful young adults felt it was more important to bring some happiness to others. Is this not the true meaning of giving back to the community? I want to thank Chef Bob Ponsi; Chef Matthew Dennis, CEC and his wife Lori; Chef Janice Carlile; and Chef Dane Gillis, CEC.
