ACF Chefs Las Vegas Chapter

President's Message

Dear Culinarians and Associates:

Welcome to the Las Vegas Chapter of the American Culinary Federation Web site. Please feel free to browse and see what the Las Vegas chapter is doing in our community. We hope you will enjoy our new Web site. Let us know how we can make the Web site experience more enjoyable for you.

Chef Steve Soltz from CSN has been gracious enough to step and head the Membership Committee. We all need to help him; Las Vegas ACF needs more active Chefs involved. The ACF and the Chefs For Kids are great organizations. In these hard times, the Las Vegas committee could use more help from people like you and I. So when you see Chef Steve, please say thank you and provide him the name of someone new for him to call.

I would like to congratulate Rick Albrecht as the new Chairman of the Associate Board. And I would like to remind everyone that the new Mise En Place is still being sent out. If you are not receiving it by e-mail please contact us and we will add you to our list. Also, in the Mise En Place, we have a copy of the latest flyer with updated information.

I would like to thank Chef Kitti Sanderson for her help. She did a great job as our President and will continue to do so as the Chairperson for our chapter. Again, Chef Kitti, thank you!

I hope to see everyone soon!
