David Haghani thanked Alexandra Troy of Culinary Architect for providing a delicious dinner and for her patience with two weather related cancellations.
Open discussion about the programming for the current year was a lively debate. Opinion was divided between members wanting different options, but ultimately decided on monthly board meetings. A steering committee with Haghani, Forrari and Lil Lindegren was formed to plan for the year.
