Ritz-Carlton Chefs Team Together for 2010 YCLA

In preparation for this Saturday Night's Young Caymanian Leadership Awards (YCLA), the chefs of The Ritz-Carlton have demonstrated their culinary leadership.

The live telecast for YCLA begins at 7pm this Saturday night on Cayman27. After the broadcast, guests in the live audience will be dazzled with a unique and lively celebration highlighting leadership, excellence and Cayman talent.

"Producing an event which combines a one hour live TV broadcast and an impressive black tie gala requires a great deal of support, in particular we would like to thank our Major Sponsors: Cox Lumber, Dart Foundation, Fosters Food Fairs, PricewaterhouseCoopers and WestStar TV Ltd.", comments Melissa Wolfe of the YCLA Foundation. "In addition, our community has shown continuous support with nominating the young Caymanians that we honour and reward. From year to year, the Foundation strives to produce an event that showcases excellence, with a theme that generates action".

The 2010 theme for YCLA, "Dare 2 be...", opens the door of suggestion and challenges people of all ages to strive to be respectful, trustworthy, courageous, involved, memorable, a rolemodel, etc.... Dare 2 be the best.

Keeping with the theme, chefs from Blue, 7 Prime, Periwinkle, Taikun and banquets have created a tour of culinary talent by presenting signature dishes from the various Ritz restaurants.

Tune into Cayman27 at 7pm on Saturday, February 20th for the 2010 YCLA. The nation will celebrate excellence in young leadership by honouring Collin Anglin, Tammy Ebanks Bishop, Felix Manzanares, Melanie McLaughlin and Krishan Welcome.
