Young Member Network Hosts Fundraiser for India

The WTC’s Young Member Network hosted a fundraiser for India’s Earthquake Relief effort on April 5 at the India Palace Restaurant. Participants enjoyed listening to a performance of classical Indian music and sampling Indian cuisine from a sumptuous buffet prepared by the India Palace. Mr. Jay Shah, a civil engineer who was an eye-witness to the tragedy and involved in assessing damages to buildings in the State of Gujarat, made a brief presentation on his experiences. The event raised $2,400 for the Red Cross’s International Response Fund for India. For those members who were unable to attend the sold out event but would like to make a donation, please contact Vanessa Bailey in the WTC Membership Department at 529-1601 ext. 234. Donations will be accepted through May 31.

Select a mixture of soft leaf lettuces, such as Boston, curly leaf or lambs ear, crisp lettuces such as Iceberg, Romaine or Boc Choy & stronger flavored leaves as Sorrel, Arugula or Curly Endive or Red Cabbage.

Wash the green & red leaves carefully in cold water and then dry them in a salad spinner until the water has been shaken from the leaves.

Wrap the greens in a dry paper towel and keep them in the refrigerator until
