The LLCC Foundation’s 12th Annual Gala was featured in the State Journal-Register’s A La Carte section.

Nancy Sweet, director, culinary programs and operations, has the charming distinction of being added to the Bloomington Pantagraph’s “Best Name Club” for her name being so well-suited to her role in managing food programs, such as baking and pastries, at LLCC. How sweet!
