ROCKY MOUNTAIN CHAPTER ROCKS The members have changed through the years. Many have come and many have gone, but there still remains a core of about 10-12 chefs that value the benefit of camaraderie and support among the m e m b e r s h i p. C h a p t e r members meet consistently and share their struggles, provide good advice, and best practices. M e m b e r s work in other’s business when required and refer business to fellow chefs. The chapter has long been committed to collaboration and community service. We participated in joint marketing efforts including the Colorado Home Show Food Demos and Chef ’s Open House with food and demos. Every holiday season we choose a restaurant where we get to relax and have someone cook for the group as we connect and network.
Our community outreach included raising funds for the Great American Bake Sale for Share Out Strength, the Inner City Health Benefit Gala for three years, and more recently the collaboration with the organization, “The Lord’s Daily Bread” to feed 250 homeless individuals. The chefs got together in Chef Lisa’s kitchen and prepared a healthy meal of Smothered Chicken with onions and bell peppers, succulent mixed vegetables and herbed rice and cookies. A second feeding took place in late January with food provided by one of Chef Lisa’s clients. Over 150 people were fed. The Rocky Mountain USPCA Chefs continue their commitment to support each other and the community.
