The recently concluded World Gourmet Affair left more than a present taste in the mouths of attendees as schools in Provo benefitted from the event.
Organizer Michel Neutelings said they were proud to donate $8,910 to the schools, which includes, $2,000 from Scotia Private Client Group, a successful silent auction and ticket proceeds from the gala event
In addition, during the course of the week, each of the five guest chefs hosted a cooking lesson for students from several local schools including Maranatha High, the New Age Academy, Wesley Methodist, the Whole Gospel Academy, and Clement Howell High as well as from the Community College.
The impressive weeklong event hosted 480 guests over six nights, a turnout that organizers consider a tremendous success for its first year. The World Gourmet Affair ended with a gala event that not only delighted guests, but set the stage for many more to come.
“It shows that the Turks and Caicos community is ready for our Gourmet Affair showcasing the resorts and Turks and Caicos as a gourmet destination,” said Ingo Reckhorn, who helped organize the event. “We (the organizers) are thrilled about this level of support and look forward to making next year’s World Gourmet Affair an even bigger success.”
