First, I would
like to thank everybody who came out and brought toys for our Toys For Tot’s
December Celebration. It was a huge
success.
Second, I would
like to make you aware of an event we sponsored last year, and to thank those
involved.
Members
of the Professional Chefs Association of South Jersey, a 40 year member chapter
of the American Culinary Federation, baked and donated 15 gingerbread houses
for patients in the Stanley M. Grossman Pediatric Center and the Emergency
Center at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center City Campus in Atlantic City.
ARMC’s Food and Nutrition Services Team, led by Paul Hoover, executive chef and
also a member of the PCASJ, decorated the houses December 17 and 18. Hoover,
David Goldstein, president, PCASJ, and Willie Lewis, chair, PCASJ, delivered
the gingerbread houses December 22.
“Our
goal was to create an interactive program which allowed chefs to participate
using their talents and also to give kids something to have to bring the
holidays to them while they were in the hospital,” said Goldstein, president,
PCASJ.
Bakers
included ACH Casino Bake Shop Chef Ulrich Lohs and Pastry Chef William Johns;
Atlantic County Institute of Technology Culinary Arts Program Chef Instructor
Guy Dunagan, a vice president of PCASJ, and his students; Bally’s® Atlantic
City Pastry Chef Rob Harmon; Golden Nugget® Atlantic City Chef Bobby
Hettmansperger; Resorts Casino Hotel Chef Jim Kirk and Pastry Chef Guy Anselmo;

Third, I want to
wish all of our members and their families a Healthy, Happy and Prosperous New
Year on behalf of the board and myself!
Looking forward to seeing you all at our first chef’s
meeting of 2012, at the Sheraton In Atlantic City on January 10.
