Please join us for a virtual "Chopped" Cooking Competition!
Cooking ingredients can be picked up from the Hy-Vee kitchen on 50th and O beginning 5pm on November 30th through December 2nd. Please do not open your bags until class - it's a mystery! Don't worry, we wont be using the oven or stove. The Zoom link with cooking utensils to have ready will be sent on Wednesday, December 2nd
Nominate YOUR "Inclusivity Hero" by November 30 for him/her to receive a gift card to Rock n Joe's and a recognition certificate (see example below).
Gift card and recognition certificate will be personalized and mailed to your nominee's place of employment (i.e. school, office, etc.), so please provide that mailing address - not your personal mailing address. Your nominee will receive the items and a note letting them know that you were the person who submitted the nomination.
For questions, please contact Liz Echternkamp at eldrenliz@gmail.com.
