or the 2015-2016 annual Community Service Project, the ASID UCLA Extension Student Chapter took on the ambitious challenge of reconstructing a kitchen from the ground up. PATH Gramercy is a non-profit organization with affordable housing and free on-site daycare for the residents, who are single parents with children under age five. The professional staff and teachers at PATH Gramercy are dedicated to providing a nurturing environment for the families, to empowering the mothers to become independent through a variety of services, including cooking courses. However, with just enough funding for the basic necessities, the kitchen facility, which suffered from an ineffective layout and insufficient storage space, had been left in dire need of a remodel for the past two decades. In April, the Student Board hosted the 10th Annual “Mix-It-Up!� fundraising gala. Students, ASID LA Chapter members, IP, sponsors and alumni joined us at the glamorous Le Petit Paris in Downtown LA. The Roaring Twenties themed network soiree was a delightful success, with ladies adorned in their vintage best and the gentlemen looking dapper. Outstanding
