November Review

Well mates November has come and gone. Just like the previous months’ time keeps on flying by within a blink of an eye. Just in case you forgot what happened in November here is a brief summary. The month kicked off with the Presidential Election Day, which was an intense campaign event. Fox 11 news came to Moraine Park to do a live segment in the culinary arts department about Thanksgiving tips and ideas. There were several meetings for student senate including the District Student Government meeting, regarding future plans and events for school. Another fun event was my first Turkey Trot 5 mile run on Turkey Day. Of course Black Friday shopping, but instead I took a small trip to Milwaukee to hang out with my friends. Last but not least all the fun events Student Life put together such as casino day and bingo day which included awesome prizes for people to win. I had a great time in November, but I must keep pushing through as the end of the semester is near. Now let the December fun begins! Cheers, Lee IV

Good Day Wisconsin live at Moraine Park

Ahoy Mates! April 17 was one of my longest days of the year thus far, but it was definitely worth it! I woke at 4:30 a.m. to be at Moraine Park by 5:00 a.m. because Fox 11’s Good Day Wisconsin reporter Emily Deem came to Moraine Park’s Fond du Lac campus to highlight Multicultural Day. This was an honor for the news crew to come to learn about the big event on campus. Multicultural Day is an annual event on campus that celebrates different cultures through food, music, and entertainment. The Multicultural Club and the Culinary Club are in partnership to run this fun event. I was able to be in the first segment with William Green who is the advisor for the Multicultural Club. We discussed what the event was about and what was going to be on the menu. It was really unique to see, behind the scenes, how live broadcasting works. Throughout the morning, different segments from Emily Deem covered various information on ethnic clothing from the Philippians, a berry tiramisu dessert, and different information from various cultures that were going to be shown in the event. To take a look at the video click on the link to see all of the fun things from the morning broadcast show at http://www.fox11online.com/dpp/good_day_wi/take-a-cultural-journey-in-fond-du-lac . I hope you enjoy the clips! On my next blog I’ll tell you about round two of the voyage on April 17. Cheers, Lee IV
