January 2010 Fellow Chefs, Once again we welcome in a new year, a chance to wipe the slate clean and start fresh! Before we put 2009 in the books, The Club Chefs of Connecticut would like to recognize all of our talented chefs who put their best foot forward in making our Showcase Gala Benefit its most successful fundraiser ever. Thanks to your hard work, commitment and continued participation, our organization is healthy, strong and moving forward in the right direction. Year 2009 took us on many new journeys, meeting interesting and passionate people, eating great food, drinking delicious wines and educating ourselves through networking and association. The final touch to our triumphant year was an evening at Bernard’s Restaurant in Ridgefield where we were warmly welcomed for our annual holiday dinner party. Thanks to Owners Sarah and Bernard Bouissou for creating such a festive atmosphere.
The Club Chefs of Connecticut are excited . General Manager Brian Dwyer and Chef James Chizmadia have offered

Fountainhead Wines "unfiltered since 1995" specializes in wines and distillations that are unique and not found in many stores in the country.

They also bottle their own wines from California and Oregon. Get active in your organization! Members wishing to be more involved in the CCC may do so. We are opening up some new opportunities to participate and will be mentioning some of them at this meeting. Your thoughts and ideas are important for our organization to grow and move forward in the right direction, so stay involved and help make this our best year ever! Thank you for your support of this great organization, Mark LeMoult
