Lanie-6th week at the University of Kansas

This week was our second and last week in catering. We helped out with a lot of events, including New Student Orientation, Women’s Bridge Club lunch and a Youth Leaders Banquet at night where we had the privilege to do the entire welcome reception and test our skills of packing everything we needed for the event and serving customers.
We had a lot of fun, but the best part of the week was a personal tour through the Roasterie which is the supplier for all the coffee on KU’s campus. We got to see everything from them testing the coffee that comes in daily to seeing their air roasting machines for the beans and we got to drink a lot of delicious coffee.
We also got to try their very own coffee flavored ice cream where they only sell it at their factory. So we got to try some and it was the best ice cream I have probably tasted in my life. I will never go back to anything like Starbucks! They now have me sold for life! It was a great way to end the week. Some cool things that we learned how to do this week was doing multiple napkin folds to make a table look exciting and glamorous. Now we can use these folds to make any table look good.
Next week is our big event, and we are so excited. All the planning is well underway and with the help of the supervisors everything is in motion and ready to happen on Wednesday! Anna and I are both excited and there will definitely be some good pictures to show off this exciting event! Can’t wait!
