By MAC Member Justin This week at cooking class we went over on how to create recipes from things you already have in your kitchen. We decided to be a little fancy as well. I chose to teach the class to make a baked brie with raspberries and brown sugar on top. Most members were…
By MAC Member Brad K. Happy New Year everyone! I’m going to be talking about 3 goals that I hope to accomplish in the next few months and what steps I will be taking to complete these goals. My first goal is trying to expand my social circle and becoming less shy in new situations.…
By MAC Member Robert U. My most favorite video games to play and collect figures for would be “Activision’s” most successful video game franchise called “Skylanders.” This happens to be a little something I became a big fan of when I was my birthday and I would turn 11 years old.
