Hey everyone,

Hope all is well and sorry we have not updated the group lately. Things are as busy as ever and now it's Back to School followed by Football Season! I am sure if it’s not the kids, the Saints and Tigers games are keeping us busy on the weekends! It’s important to keep an eye out for your favorite leisure class. Nothing better than learning a new cooking technique or recipe and impressing everyone!
