We had a wonderful experience at the CCCC Foundation's Scholarship Banquet yesterday - our students prepared the food, set up, served everyone, and it was delicious! We are getting a lot of compliments on our students and how professional they all were and how fantastic the food was, and it makes us so proud to hear it. It is a very diverse group of folks who work together well.
