Jazz Age Lawn Party

In August, a number of NRC Culinary Arts students were given the opportunity to work a refreshments table at the Jazz Age Lawn Party on Governors Island. This prohibition-era, historical gathering brought attendees back to a time when gramophones were king, cars were beautiful and dance was an art.

Seven NRC students from Culinary Arts Cohorts 2 and 3 worked with Michelle’s Gourmet Grilled Cheese and Pickles, Ukulele Luau, Arenella’s Raw Bar and many others, preparing and serving food to event-goers. This paid work opportunity provided our students with valuable catering experience that many had never been introduced to before.

If you’re interested in opportunities like this, come to CEWD’s Fall Open House to hear all about NRC and our other workforce training programs.

Harvest Fest at Paerdegat Park

The office of Senator Kevin Parker will be hosting the 7th Annual Harvest Fest, an end-of-summer, back-to-school celebration on Saturday, September 6, 2014 (12:00-5:00p) at Paerdegat Park (E. 40th St between Foster and Albany Aves).

Along with food, music and activities, this event will provide information about local youth programs and and for those looking to go to college. Fiormelissa from the Northeast Resiliency Consortium will be there to talk about NRC and other programs offered at CEWD.

From Kevin Parker’s offices: “This highly anticipated event has become a signature community event for working families as they prepare to send their school-aged children back to school.”

Go early so you can pick up free back-to-school supplies including backpacks, notebooks and pens and pencils, and that are offered to local families (while supplies last).
