Project Tech Reunion

Last Saturday, graduates of Project Tech gathered together to hear from each other, play games, and have fun! Invited speakers shared their experiences working in various fields using technology and encouraged the youth to continue pursuing their education in technology.

A civil engineer in water management, a computer software engineer, and a student at Bellevue Community College talked about how they use techology in their every day lives.


The alumni had a great time, learned a lot, and of course, loved all the food!

Paris Comes to Chinatown!

Christine Ho, local marketing expert and a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu culinary arts school in Paris, came to share her skills with CISC seniors the other day.

They learned how to make chicken piccata with lemon, capers and white wine, breading the chicken cutlets and frying them to perfection.


The smells coming from Sunshine Garden were heavenly! And all enjoyed the fruits of their labor.
