Fund Raiser and Cooking Class at the Rabbit Hole
Thomas, the chef at the Rabbit Hole, will be demonstrating his cooking skills and creating some unique Korean fusion dishes for us. This is a combination fund raiser and cooking class. These classes have always been a big hit and well worth your time and money.
Here is what you get:
* A full meal that will be cooked by Thomas while you observe and learn.
* A glass of wine and a beer
* Socialize with fellow adoptees and friends
Cost/Donation:
$10 with membership card
$20 without membership card
$25 to purchase membership card and cooking class
There is a class limit of 22 people as the space to observe the chef has limited seating. If you join, please attend as we will have to pay for your spot whether you attend or not. To sign up, email us at akconnection.mn@gmail.com to confirm your attendance. Or visit our Facebook event page here.
As always, thank you for your continued support for AK Connection.

2014 Membership Drive
During the month of January, we will be asking you to become a paying member of AK Connection. This is in no way mandatory to be an active member. It is just a way for you to help support the organization and its' events and programs. The rewards of being a paid member has many benefits:
I know most of us just spent a lot of money during the holidays and asking you for a little bit more is challenging. But if you feel AK Connection is a worthy cause and you want to help with a small donation, you would be instrumental to the future success of the organization. We will be giving away a tablet device at the new year celebration (see below) to all those that become a paying member during the January membership drive. You do not need to be present to win the tablet.

AK Connection and Connect-A-Kid are partnering to bring a mentoring program to Minnesota.
As an adult adoptee with a pro-adoption perspective, you have the unique opportunity to give back to the adoption community. Join the Connect-A-Kid team of mentors and support adopted children and their families in your local area. Parents will look to you as a resource and their children will look to you as a special friend.
We need teams of 4 adult mentors to begin this program. The more teams, the better and the more kids we can reach.
How to join
1. Visit www.connectakid.org and complete the mentor application form
2. Interview with the Director of Mentor Recruiting
3. Join a local Connect-A-Kid Team!
Cost:
$35 background check. This fee will be reimbursed by AK Connection upon successful acceptance as a mentor into the program.

"Add one part American comfort food, one part Asian flavors, a dash of Rock and Roll, a pinch of country and let it simmer in the melting pot that is Los Angeles and you get The Left Handed Cook. We like to bring fun and whimsy to our food. We take our cooking and ingredients seriously so that our dishes don’t have to be. Eclectic, Unique and Bold just like our taste in music, fashion, and art. We strive to provide food influenced by our childhoods, some might call it fusion cuisine, but we like to call it New American Country cooking."
