Good morning MCCC Hospitality Program supporters!

Great news, our International Cuisine tickets are currently scheduled to be sold at 10 am tomorrow morning, Thursday, 3/5/26, via the Kelsey Theatre. These tickets are very limited for our (8) seatings - a maximum of (6) tickets for ONLY one seating is allowed. Please honor this request and do not plan to have multiple people purchase tickets as we sell out very quickly and want as many people from our community to be able to see our students in action.

Please remember to spread the word about our programs as we are ALWAYS looking for additional students with a desire to work in the hospitality industry - Chefs, Pastry Chefs, Managers and/or Food Science...MCCC is you very BEST place to start your academic foundation to prepare for your career in the Hospitality industry.

Thank you for your continued support!

Update on tickets. Our Wednesday and Thursday lunch tickets, "The Viking Cafe" are scheduled for sale this Wednesday morning, 2/18/26, 10 am, via the Kelsey Theatre. Please remember that these tickets are very limited, first come, first served - please check your calendar before purchasing as they are NOT refundable and/or transferrable (cannot be used for any other date).

Tickets for lunch are $18/each (+ticketing fees). Dinner tickets will go on sale in the next week or two (they will be $29/each, plus fees). We remind everyone to please only purchase tickets for one meal this semester (a maximum of 6 tickets as that is our max table size, no exceptions).

Please remember that these are classes and students. We want to have as many supporters as possible enjoy a meal with us and help to spread the word about our programs to anyone wishing to receive hospitality, culinary, pastry and/or food science education/certificates/degrees. After all, we can only have these student-operated class meals with students - the more students, the more meal opportunities - this semester we have planned (3) lunches and (1) dinner. The remaining lunch and the dinner tickets will both be on sale within the next couple weeks - please stay tuned.

Also, lunch seating is between 12:30 pm - 1 pm, in ES114. One last reminder, this is a class and these are students learning, please be patient and understanding with our students. We will do our best to provide an enjoyable experience for all. We look forward to serving you soon!

We really appreciate the love and support, all dinner tickets sold out as quickly as our Thursday and Friday lunches.

Good news!!! We have one last opportunity for you! ***We do request that if you already have tickets to a lunch or dinner this semester, that you please DO NOT purchase more tickets for our last lunch offering. These meals are designed to create awareness of our programs and we have continued to request that people only purchase tickets to one meal each semester to provide more opportunity for people to visit us and see our students in action. While we truly and sincerely appreciate the support, we ask that you kindly limit yourselves to one visit per semester (should tickets still be available after the first day of sale, then we can revisit this stance).

Now, that I have provided this reminder...Monday, 3/10, 10 am, we have a few lunch tickets that will be available - seating will be between 12 pm - 12:30 pm - dining room will be cleared at 1:30 pm.

As always, for more information, please visit our website at: www.mccc.edu/hrim - please spread the word about our programs for anyone interested in a certificate/degree in: Hospitality Management, Culinary Arts, Pastry Arts and/or Food Science....we need our classes to fill up as quickly as our class restaurants...again, we thank you all for your continued support!
