BACK TO SCHOOL

welcome back
I hope that everyone had a great summer, I know mine was busy and I saw some changes. I hope that everyone's health is good.  I know that during the summer there was not a lot of communication. For this I appologize.

This season sees much excitement starting off with the Foodlink kick off with "Taste Local Taste Fresh."
Come, celebrate the food and culinary delights of our region! The date has been set! Come join us on Sunday September 21rd, 2-5pm, for Foodlink's 5th annual Taste Local! Taste Fresh! event. This year, the country comes to the city. The island in beautiful Victoria Park in Downtown Kitchener is the setting for our popular celebration of local food and the hands that prepare it.

We will be holding our meetings again with re-newed interest and enthusiasm. 

There’s no such thing as “too many cooks” when it comes to our newsletter. Every member holds the ingredients we need for a truly amazing first issue: experiences, knowledge, news, views, tips, concerns ...

Volunteer to write a short—or long!—article on a topic of your choice or one from the ingredient shopping list. Send your articles, photos and story ideas to  ten_thumbs@hotmail.com


As well I'd like to insert a note from CCFCC National
