Sign Up to Cater with Your Team at the Kennedy Auction!

A Message from Chef Brandon S. LaVielle

Hello, team! It's that time of year again! We will be catering an event out of our Burien Headquarters on Saturday March 9th. It is for a local high school (my alma mater), Kennedy Catholic. It is their annual fundraising auction gala called KATCH. This year’s theme is the Oscar's/Academy Awards. The event consists of passed appetizers with a cocktail hour followed by a plated three-course dinner. We expect to serve between 150 - 250 guests.  Pictures are attached from last year's event and the menu is below.

We have some opportunities for you and your respective teams, and we would like to invite you to come cook at the headquarters kitchen with Chef Evan and myself. There are a handful of weekday prep shifts available, as well as day of event shifts. You are welcome to work as many shifts as you'd like, and this sign-up sheet will be on a first come first served basis. If you sign up for a shift/shifts you are committed and expected to show up on time and ready to go.  This is a great chance to collaborate with the team outside of our normal scope of work and provides opportunty for team building, cammarderie, and learning the ins and out of what goes into a catered event. 

PASTRY: We would love some collaboration as well with some pastry cooks and pastry chefs. We have an idea of some flavors that we'd like to run on the dessert, but ultimately this is an opportunity for you to create an awesome plated dessert for 150 - 250 guests. The pastry team would be responsible for 100% of the prep and execution of the dessert course. For those of you interested in pastry, please contact me directly. 

NOTE ABOUT COMPENSATION: Hourly team members will earn overtime (if applicable) + tips. Salaried team members will earn $200 additional compensation for prep shifts (4 hours) and $400 additional compensation for day of event shifts (8 hours). Some hours may vary, especially pastry, and we will compensate appropriately.

A Baseball Message from Daniel

Did you know our very own Daniel Holcombe has a baseball team? How cool is that! Show them some love by following them on instagram @seattle_knights_baseball_club and read the message from Daniel below:

“I wanted to take a moment to share some exciting updates about my baseball team. First change to my baseball team this year is the team's name changed from Grizzlies to Knights. 

After careful consideration and discussions with the team, i made the decision to change our team's name. The main reason behind this change was to better reflect our team's identity, values, and aspirations. The team wanted a name that would resonate with our players and that would inspire us to achieve our goals.

My team has been working incredibly hard, and I couldn't be prouder of the progress we've made. The dedication and determination shown by each member of the team have been truly inspiring. We have been practicing diligently, honing our skills, and building a strong bond as a team.

The upcoming season holds great promise for us. I have been strategizing, working on our game plans, and focusing on improving our strengths. Our goal is to compete at the highest level and achieve success on the field.”
