Thank you so much to Shari, our chili & beer teams, and our guests!
Lee Carlson Center’s 5th Annual Chili Cook-Off & Beer Tasting was one of our best events ever! We had nearly 175 guests in attendance and made nearly $15,000 to help support our uninsured and under-insured clients. Thank you to everyone who came to the event, donated, volunteered, and supported Lee Carlson Center!
If you are interested in a Lee Carlson Center “Keep Talking About Mental Health” t-shirt from the event, we have a limited number available for sale. If you have feedback on the Chili Cook-Off or would like to buy a t-shirt please email Kate King, Director of Development, at kking@leecarlsoncenter.org.
The Bridgeview Member Event with Shari from Master Chef was a Huge Success
Prior to the Chili Cook-Off “main event” Shari joined our Bridgeview members at St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Columbia Heights for a cooking expo!
Shari taught members how to prepare a delicious green chicken chili complete with homemade tortillas. Members learned how to safely use various types of chef knives and gained some insight on new plants for our gardening group this spring.
All members received a copy of Shari’s very own recipe and had a wonderful Q&A session during lunch.
Our “main event” was a huge success!
Family Three Music kept toes tapping throughout the night. Kim was a big winner when she took home the 58″ Samsung TV during the raffle.
