The CMAA group led by president, Hannah Neale, and vice president, Dan VanDeMoere, helped chefs from private clubs in North and South Carolina prepare and serve various dishes at the fundraising event. Some of the proceeds of the event will go to help the ECU CMAA student members attend the CMAA World Congress in Florida in 2017. The CMAA colony is comprised of students interested in careers in the private club industry and is advised by Dr. Cynthia Deale of the School of Hospitality Leadership.
