A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Welcome BACK! I hope your summer was relaxing and you are ready to grow
both personally and professionally this upcoming year. My name is Amanda
Hunt and I am the CAFP Brescia student branch president for 2015-16.
The Canadian Association of Foodservice Professionals (CAFP) is a national or-
ganization that is committed to the development of students. I am very proud
to be working with an amazing executive team here on campus and we all
benefit from the Professional Branch located right here in London.
This past May I attended the annual conference with 6 other student members
in Fredericton, NB. I cannot wait to share our experiences in the coming news-
letter issues. I am excited to announce our very own Brescia was voted Na-
tional Student Branch of the Year for 2014-15. It is my goal to increase the
number of students at next year’s conference in Alberta.
As a member of the Brescia CAFP Student Branch you will have many opportu-
nities to participate in:
• Bi-Weekly meetings
• London Professional branch meetings
• Educational Sessions
• Special Events
• Fundraising Initiatives
• Exclusive member only volunteer opportunities
• 3rd
Annual Sock Drive
• Newsletter Committee
If you are in your first year I encourage you to join CAFP as a member but also
look at the job posting for a 1st
Year Class Representative. It is a great opportu-
nity to join our stellar executive team, show leadership, further develop com-
munication skills and get more involved in campus life.
Membership week will be held September 21st
to 25th
. You can find us outside
the St. James Auditorium or email us to find out more about becoming a mem-
ber.
The Annual Student Branch Meet and Greet will be held on September 29th

our guest speaker.

Sarah Rogers – 2nd
Year Rep
What program and year are you in? I am currently
entering my fourth year of post secondary educa-
tion; however, I am just starting out in my first year
of the Honors Specialization in Nutrition and Fami-
lies Program here at Brescia. Prior, I dabbled in some
Science courses, as well as in English and Writing. As
I’m sure most students can agree, you truly never
know what you are going to enjoy, and excel in, until
you try things out, and I sure feel like I’ve tried it all!
It has been a long journey to where I am today, but I
finally feel like I have found my niche.
What is your favourite food? I have a huge sweet tooth, and often have to restrain
myself from indulging; however, there is one thing that I just can’t say no to: a
doughnut. I’m a sucker for fried pastries! I recently bought a doughnut pan at a
thrift store for just $1 so that I can bake my own doughnuts at home. Needless to
say, it has been a great investment (my friends and family think so too!).
What do you love most about CAFP? This is my first year as a part of the CAFP
team, but I am certainly excited (and admittedly a bit nervous) about getting the
ball rolling and making a difference on campus and in the community. I have never
been a part of a group like this before, but after getting to know most of the team
at our first meeting, I can tell that there are a lot of hardworking, organized and
genuine individuals on board. I guess you could say that’s what I love most about
the team so far – the dedication to making a difference!
Which meal do you like cooking most? Aside from desserts, I LOVE making soups. I
have developed a process that leaves me with a perfect pot of soup every time, no
matter what the ingredients! Sometimes I will even make two or three soups at a
time and freeze them in portions for an easy lunch or dinner throughout the
week. Some of my favourites to make are tomato basil, carrot ginger, roasted egg-
plant, and vegetarian chick’n noodle (yes, it’s possible). I usually make vegan
soups, but occasionally some cheese just so happens to find its way into the pot!
