By Dames Sharon Olson and Mary Abbott Hess

The Green Tables Initiative is a Les Dames d’Escoffier sponsored program, which turns our attention to sustainability and a wholesome diet for our citizens and especially for our children. The Chicago Chapter of Les Dames wishes to participate fully in this initiative by volunteering the expertise of our members to promote good healthy food by classes, seminars, gardening, cooking demonstrations, and by using any and all educational means at hand. It is our desire to make our communities and city GREEN.
