Cooking With Betsy (October 16, 2015)

Eddie and Betsy Fredericks are relatively new residents in Fredericksburg.  However, that hasn't stopped them from getting involved in the community.  Betsy has a passion for cooking.  In fact she had a cooking school in Lafeyette, LA.  She receintly put that passion and skill to work for WWAN.  

Betsy, on right, Demonistrating

Nine care providers met at her home for a day of fellowship, learning and fun. Stacy Johnson, Day Event Coordinator for the Ministry was there.  She shared the following about the day.

"Betsy taught us how to make homemade ravioli, minestrone soup, almond biscotti and chocolate salami.  Everyone participated and worked on several dishes. Everyone was busily working in Betsy's wonderful kitchen under her expert supervision.  Betsy was delightful and fun was had by all.  After preparing this wonderful meal, we all sat down and enjoyed the fruits of our labor.  Oh yes, two sauces - tomato and cream - went on the ravioli.  Delicious!!!"

One of the attendees sent this message,

"Ms. Stacy,
I want to thank you and your wonderful group of ladies for such a wonderful day on Friday.  I think everyone enjoyed the cooking lesson, I certainly enjoyed it.  Please thank everyone again for me on behalf of the Lackland AFB service members and caregivers.
Sheila Sidberry"

Betsy, WWAN thanks you for your generosity and look forward to the next "Cooking with Betsy"

Playing Catch Up

What a vacation!! My sister-in-law and I spent two weeks in Durango, Colorado, another week in Manitou Springs and visited many points in between.  The aspen were golden carpets on the mountains.  That along with great weather made it the perfect time to be in Colorado.

While I was out playing WWAN had several events which I need to let you know about.  An R&R weekend, the Third Annual American Hero's Fishing Tournament, an Enchanted Rock day event and a Cooking Class.

I'm gathering photos from the events.  As soon as I can get them I'll post them along with a brief write up.  

If there is someone reading this that would like to be my counterpart let me know.  Not only would it help to have someone to do the blog and facebook when I'm gone, there are times when we have several events running concurrently.

Stay Tuned!!
