Local chef Amanda Rider from Dunlop Street Diner will teach the interactive online class. Participants will learn how to create a three-course meal from the comfort of their own home and be able to ask Rider questions on preparing a restaurant-quality meal at home. This is the first time the Event Management Program students have hosted a fundraiser like this. They hope to raise as much as they can through the $30 tickets. Aprons and buttons are also available for sale to benefit RVH.
