EVITEF Breakfast Fundraiser recap


The EVIT Education Foundation breakfast this morning was a great success! Here are some highlights:

The culinary students were up and at it by 5 a.m. this morning, getting everything ready:


We had some wonderful guests and good conversation. Meet my tablemates, a group of fine folks from SRP:


Of course, the food was amazing:



Current and former students got up to say a few words about what EVIT has meant for their futures:





Local chef extraordinaire Mark Tarbell was honored as EVITEF's Sam and Olga Bender Award winner for his support of career and technical education:


Attendees were given a chance to bid on the centerpieces, which were hand-crafted by our welding instructors and students. I've had my eye on this one for several weeks... and I won it!


And to cap off the morning, culinary students handed out loaves of freshly baked pumpkin bread as people left:

What a great event! The fundraiser brought in more money than ever before, and it will go a long way in supporting our students and programs. A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support EVITEF!

Welding for a good cause

I popped by the welding classroom to see what they were up to today, and I spotted teacher Pete Acosta working on one of the centerpieces for the EVIT Education Foundation's Annual Gourmet Breakfast Fundraiser.


The welding folks are creating dozens of centerpieces that will be auctioned off to raise money at the breakfast. One student showed me part of a moon centerpiece he has been working on.


The finished product will be stunning.
