One of the perks of starting here was learning about the student run Tastes of Tomorrow program.The program is run by the students at the Chef school and the club is funded by the membership fees and admissions at all the events! Fees are $35 per school year, or $10 at the door. Membership and attendance to all the events are open to anyone!
The three main components of the club are, "Education, Networking and Social Awareness."

- Collaborate with already existing Associations and work towards common goals
- Promote awareness around such issues as food sustainability, food history and diversity
- Showcase conscientious local producers who’s businesses are helping to promote social change
- Come together to help people in our community in need, using food as our vehicle to communicate our support
