In community news…
The Norwood Legion did some kitchen renovations and needed some help from Elmhirst’s Resort to get their team of volunteers caught up to speed. Chef Jeff, our head of Food and Beverage went down to give the volunteers a crash course in 21st century cooking equipment during their famous wing night. The new gear worked great and Chef Jeff got a tour of their beautiful history museum. It was great fun to make new friends 🤩
