The Leeward Community College Culinary Arts Program<\/a> will hold its inaugural Easter Brunch To-Go on April 8, featuring a mouth-watering nine-course meal to enjoy at home. The event looks to build on the success of Leeward\u2019s May Day Lūʻau<\/span> To-Go and Thanksgiving To-Go fundraisers.<\/p>\n

“Although the campus has fully re-opened, due to the success of our previous to-go events, we are continuing these fundraisers to support our culinary students and the program with scholarships, supplies and equipment. And it also gives our students practical experience in large-scale menu and meal preparation,” said Abigail Langlas<\/strong>, one of the instructors guiding Easter Brunch To-Go. “We are so grateful to the community for their continued support of the Leeward Culinary Arts Program, and we are all committed to working hard to create a wonderful Easter meal for you!”<\/p>\n

During the COVID-19<\/abbr> pandemic, the May Day Lūʻau<\/span> To-Go sold out and won rave reviews for the delicious Hawaiian feast, as well as the easy and organized pick-up process on campus. Leeward CC<\/abbr>\u2019s Thanksgiving To-Go proved equally successful.<\/p>\n

“I just want to say I’m honored to be in the role of sous chef for this event,” said Chandler Lindner<\/strong>, the Leeward CC<\/abbr> culinary student overseeing the preparation of 150 Easter meals. “I have learned a lot regarding what it takes to put on an event of this level. Everyone is working hard and putting in a lot of hours, and I am really proud of my classmates for all of their great ideas and hard work to make this event happen. Thank you so much for your support of our education and program!”<\/p>\n
