PRODUCED IN NEW YORK EVENT: Just a reminder for those members that are having the opportunity to participate in another way of doing a public presentation by partaking in our Produced in New York event on March 1st. I wanted to remind you that the sign up is up on our website to sign up to be involved with this. Once we have some dates set for the workshops that Chelsea will be doing to get you ready for the actual event we will get in touch with each of you. So please be sure to sign up. I had attached some information on this Produced In New York event in our January 10th newsletter. This is not just for people to make up missed public presentation this is for anyone who wants to get their hands into some cooking!!!! IT WILL BE FUN AND GREAT LIFE SKILL TO HAVE  https://pub.cce.cornell.edu/event_registration/main/events_landing.cfm?event=PiNY2014_209

Melissa's quick summary--this is an event where students do SILENT 30 minute demonstrations of how to cook something. For this particular category students feature at least one item that is produced somewhere in the state of NY. The food is demonstrated in stages. It is done on a single table with no oven/stove. So for each step that then required stove/oven prep, you would bring out the next step already prepped.

CAPITAL DAYS TRIP: We are still looking for 2 teens to participate in Capital Days in March, you need to be at least 14 years of age to participate. If you would like further information see last weeks newsletter or call or email me. Remember this is an opportunity to see behind the scenes in Albany and nothing you learn in the textbooks. If you are thinking Politics is in your future this is a great opportunity!!!
