First-Annual-Bourne-High-School-Lobster-Fest-to-Take-Place-on-Thursday-June-16 Bourne, MA-June 2, 2005-

Before you take the time to sit and order at a seafood restaurant, come and join the BHS MY TURN students in their Lobster Fest. The Lobster Fest is taking place in the high school cafeteria on June 16 at 6:00 PM. The cost is $20 for adults and $12.50 for children under 12 years old. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the National Marine Life Center in Buzzard's Bay. This festival is providing a community service learning experience and introducing local culinary flavor to the MY TURN students.

The Lobster Fest is a community collaborative between Cape Cod Community College, Bourne High School's Business Program, MY TURN, Inc., Cape Corps, Grand Union Family Markets, Lobster Trap Company, Inc., Honey Dew Donuts, and JTEC of Cape and Islands.

The menu will consist of Lobster Rolls, Seafood Newburg, Chicken Marsala, rice and garden salads, along with desserts and beverages. Bourne High School students have been involved in the project planning and will help in preparation, set up, cleanup and entertainment.

"The students are excited and anxious to see it all come together," said Ms. Mackie, MY TURN Career Specialist. She added, "I am overwhelmed that so many people are interested in helping make this Lobster Fest a success."

David Hamilton, a student maitre d' for the evening said, "I am extremely excited for the event which will help the Marine Life cause."

Amanda King, also a maitre d' for the festival has said, "We are all very excited for the evening. We have been working very hard to put this event together. We hope that everyone who purchases a ticket will come."

The Lobster Fest is an inter-departmental community service-learning project at Bourne High School. The BHS students have been key players in each part of putting this event together. MY TURN, Inc. and Bourne High School have become partners in providing job readiness training and career development to students in grades 9-12. The program focuses on teaching students the tools a person needs to become a successful employee as well as helps direct the students in choosing a career path.
