We are the Dawson Kitchen and Food Club. Our goal is to share our common passion for a variety of foods in a welcoming community. We host events where we try out different eats spots, after compiling suggestions from our members. Food is never far from cooking, and we organize cooking workshops, and we plan on adding cooking related activities as soon as we obtain a kitchen in Dawson. Our end goal is to participate in food festivals as events, where people get to sample and purchase many kinds of food. We plan on offering free food, as everyone likes free food. Finally, bake sales or something with a similar concept can be organized, where a part of the profit will be donated to charity organizations. The club is still relatively new, but we are giving it our all.

It is important to note that the Dawson Law Club is an educational extracurricular run by students, for the students, and therefore does not reflect the structure of a legal aid institution
