The Leelanau School invites you to join us on campus for an evening of extraordinary food and community! Chef Jim LaPerriere* of Distinctive Dining (distinctivedining.biz) will present a six-course tasting menu and wine pairing, with music and remarks from area arts and education leaders. 

This new "food for thought" series from Leelanau is designed to celebrate great food with neighbors while sharing essential ideas and strategies to help young people find a sense of belonging and purpose. The evening will include a musical performance from Interlochen, and dinner proceeds will kick-start Leelanau's planned restoration and transformation of our historic Auditorium into a shared resource for the arts, environmental issues, business, and community.

The menu and evening are sure to please mind and body. Please join us to elegant food and learn more about what we are cooking up at The Leelanau School! Questions? Please get in touch with Kate Olson at kolson@leelanau.org or 231.334.5841.
