Fondue FunArtsLaurel Severson Tired of working in the kitchen? Solution - bring fondue to your table! Any time is the right time for fondue - with family, guests or as a party. In the 18th century, creating a way to utilize hardened cheese and bread, the Swiss melted the cheese, added wine and dunked bread cubes in the mixture. The name itself came from the French word "fonder" which means to melt. We will create fondues from around the world: Traditional Cheese, Classic Swiss Cheese, Beef Bourguignon, Crab, Bleu Cheese and Tempura. Of course we'll dunk delectable tidbits of fruit, cake or brownies in wonderful dessert fondues - flavored chocolate fondues plus butterscotch fondue.

Four Strategies for a Smarter College SearchLifestyleCozy Wittman from College Inside Track This past year has resulted in some of the most significant changes to the college planning process in decades. Admission trends have changed how colleges admit students. There are substantial changes to the FAFSA and financial aid that may make college more expensive. Schools have gone ACT/SAT optional, but not necessarily when they award scholarships, and some colleges are going back to requiring standardized tests. Join us to learn how these changes may impact your family, and new strategies to consider to give your student the best opportunity to be admitted and maximize scholarships and financial aid. If you are the parent of a HS student in grades 9-11, this is incredibly important info you will not want to miss. Cozy speaks nationally about college, and is passionate about educating families about the process to find the right fit and dispelling myths that cost families money! She is a mom of 5 kids with very different goals for college so she is no stranger to the challenges herself.2024/2025 CE Catalog
