In May, Carl Deutsch, CCC, CCE, a
member of ACF Philadelphia Chapter,
donated cookbooks, textbooks and
DVDs from his personal collection to
the culinary and pastry arts programs at
Lebanon Country Career and Technology
Center, Lebanon, Pa. The resources will
be added to the center’s library, which is
used by students for research projects
and recipe development. Deutsch was
a member of the school’s first American
Culinary Federation Education Foundation
accreditation site visit team in 2001, and
takes an interest in the success of the
school’s culinary and pastry programs.

PEOPLE’S GARDEN
SCHOOL PILOT PROGRAM
The USDA Food and
Nutrition Service has
$1 million available
for a People’s
Garden School Pilot
Program. The program
is designed to: teach students about
agriculture production practices, diet and
nutrition; contribute produce to supplement
food provided at eligible schools, student
households, local food banks or senior-center nutrition programs; and conduct
an evaluation of funded projects to learn
more about the impacts of school gardens.
Grants will be awarded to develop and run
community gardens at eligible high-poverty
schools, defined as public schools with
50% or more students eligible for free
and reduced-price meals. Public or private
nonprofit organizations are eligible to apply.
Grant applications are due by Oct. 8, 5 p.m.
EST. School gardens are to be developed in
at least three states and no more than five
states that fall into three population-size
groupings; see http://www.census.gov/
IN MEMORIAM We mourn the passing of our fellow culinarians, who meant so much to the industry and to the American Culinary Federation.
