Garden Gourmet
Ruth Craig's Report on Garden Gourmet:
Congratulations, great cooks, for welcoming in Spring with such a delicious supper Thursday, April 26th! Though our group was a bit smaller than usual, all those who came had a wonderful time. Our Spring-Summer schedule will vary from the rest of the year. On May 24 we welcome everyone to attend the Community and Gallery Open House rather than a gourmet gathering. I hope to see you there!
Our Comfort Food evening on March 22 was indeed comforting and most delicious thanks to all of you who brought such wonderful dishes to share. It's been especially nice having some new faces in the group with friends and visiting relatives joining in.
Our June gathering will not be on the fourth Thursday, as that falls too close to our community Independence Day celebration on June 30. We're hoping to have it earlier in the month.
Gordy Lownds and Steve Uecke have, once again, volunteered to demonstrate a fish boil/fish fry dinner, which was so popular a few years ago. And Pat Rasmussen suggested that we come to her beach for a demonstration on campfire cooking this summer. We would bring any needed supplies and some side dishes (hopefully using our marvelous locally grown foods) to these gatherings. Our dates for these two events will be scheduled to fit into their calendars. As soon as I know, I will pass the word along. Thanks for being part of the Garden Gourmets....each one of you makes our gatherings special and nice for the others.
Clarinet Concert with Tricia Lemire
On Sunday, April 15th, Tricia Lemire will perform a clarinet concert in St. John's Hall at 1-2pm following the American Legion Breakfast. Come support Jackie and Donny Zehren's granddaughter in her fund-raising effort! Tricia has been selected to be a part of the Lions all-State Band when it tours in South Korea in June. A free-will offering will be accepted for Tricia's fundraiser. There will be a finger-dessert buffet at the Hall. Come enjoy dessert after the American Legion Breakfast and listen to the concert!

Our Painting Group will again meet at the back room of the Village Artisans beginning February 1st. We would love to have anyone interested come and join them. They will meet at noon on Wednesdays. Plenty of paints, brushes, and boards are available at no cost and there are easels to use.
The Garden Gourmet will meet on February 23rd at St. Johns Hall at 5-7pm. The theme is “Food Dear-to-Your Heart. This could mean foods that are healthy and good for your heart or just any of your favorite food! Anyone want to volunteer for a food demonstration?
