Wine and Dine Italia - Aprons Cooking Class

- Written by Jim Young
On Friday, February 23rd, the Society kicked off its first event of the year at the Aprons Cooking School. It was a demonstration-style cooking class where we all had great wine, great food, were entertained and had great fun just being with friends. The menu included - Four Cheese Arancini with Tomato Jam; Pan Roasted Shrimp and Cavatappi "Caponata"; Marinated Pork Roast Marsala with Risotto and Mushroom Ragout; Sicilian Ricotta Cheesecake with Meyer Lemon Curd and Pistachios.
The minute we sat down we were poured our first glass of wine. Wine was paired with each course that was demonstrated and served. Not only was it educational with a couple of tricks they passed on to us, but it was very entertaining. We will be having another cooking session later on this year and will send out more details later on in the year. In the meantime if you would like a copy of the recipes then Click Here. We also took a "few" pictures that you can see in our Photo Gallery by Clcking Here.

The West Point Society of Central Florida (WPSCF) is pleased to announce that Robert A. McDonald the 8th Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs, will be the guest speaker for Founders Day at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort on March 17, 2018.
Robert A. McDonald was the eighth Secretary of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Procter & Gamble (P&G).
In 2014 as VA Secretary, McDonald launched VA’s ambitious transformational journey to be the No. 1 customer-service agency in Federal government. The Harvard Business School’s November 2016 study of VA’s transformation judged that, thanks to Secretary McDonald’s leadership, VA “had made impressive progress.” By the end of his tenure in January 2017, all VA Medical Centers were providing Veterans access to same day services in primary and mental health care when needed right away.
