Before the demonstration, participants are invited to enjoy appetizers and entertainment.
This is the third demonstration by Mims as part of TAMIU’s Continuing Education cooking demonstration series. Mims has held a ‘Cooking for the Holidays’ and ‘Paella with Chef Mims’ cooking sessions.
Proceeds from both events benefited Voz de Niños, a court-appointed volunteer organization advocating for abused and neglected children. Several Voz de Niños children received a scholarship to attend TAMIU’s Dusty’s Junior University Summer Camp and Programming Camp this year.
“The proceeds all went toward our summer programs and sending four foster children who would not have otherwise had the opportunity,” explained Michelle Begwin, Office of Continuing Education administrative associate. “We appreciate the enthusiasm and support from our community.”
