Dear Friends and Community Members,

With a heavy heart, we announce the end of our Thai cooking class, which has been a vibrant part of our fundraising activities since 2017. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has participated in our classes over the years. Your enthusiasm, curiosity, and support have been invaluable.

One of the most rewarding aspects of this class has been our ability to give back to the community. A significant portion of the proceeds from each class was repurposed for our local initiatives for those in need. We are proud of the positive impact we have been able to make together.

Following the challenges posed by the pandemic, we made a concerted effort to relaunch the class, even offering online sessions to reach a wider audience. Unfortunately, despite these efforts, our business never fully recovered, remaining below pre-pandemic levels.

While this decision is bittersweet, we understand that sometimes, it is necessary to reassess our priorities and explore new avenues. Although we may have fewer funds to allocate to community efforts, we remain committed to finding other ways to support those in need.

Thank you again for your continued support and for being a part of our cooking class journey. We hope to see you again in the future, perhaps in a different capacity.
