CHIP Table at International Dinner
"What's CHIP?" was a common question at the International Dinner hosted August 13 by Central SDA Church at
Springs Adventist Academy. In addition to tables with cuisine from Indonesia, Africa, Russia, Central and South America,
CHIP alumni made seven of our favorite CHIP salads. Joy, Eileen, and Linda served them up to a packed
gymnasium of guests. Many came back for seconds and some took flyers with info on the next CHIP class.
