Black & White Gourmet Dinner has profound impact on students

Moraine Park Foundation Gourmet Dinner attendees

The Moraine Park Foundation recently hosted its Gourmet Dinner with a special “Black & White” theme.

Guests at the event dressed in black and white attire and enjoyed a six-course meal prepared by Moraine Park Culinary Arts students and faculty. They also had the opportunity to enjoy entertainment by local talent, bid on auction items, and try their luck at the event’s popular wine-cork pull and heads-or-tails 50/50 raffle. Take a look at photos from the event below. Continue reading
