Today, for the second time in 2 years, the Island Chefs’ Collaborative put on a fundraiser called the Survivor Series at Madrona Farm. SO fun! Good old Cory Pelan and Alberto Pozzolo were there (some of my partners in my own fundraiser at La Piola last weekend), amongst other amazing chefs, cooking up lots of delicious food that got auctioned off to the highest bidders. Plus I got to meet Vince Vaccaro, a real treat because this guy is really talented. What can I say? From one artist to another – I love his music.
Today I presented TLC with the final amount – $3700 to preserve food security in our community. It felt amazing, and I want to say a great big THANKS to those patrons of the arts – you know who you are, but do I name names? not unless you want me to? – as well as Cory Pelan and Michael Balfour for hosting and running the auction and generally keeping me from losing my mind while trying to organize things.
Stay tuned for more shenanigans from yours truly!
I was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. As a child, I fell in love with the British Columbia landscape during a family trip to the Kootenays.
For a prairie girl whose existence was marked by the swings between the extreme heat and cold of the prairie, BC provided an evergreen and ever-growing calmness. I moved to BC the moment I finished my nutrition degree.
