Selected restaurants, SMCC Culinary Arts faculty and staff, and international students will prepare and serve sample portions of hot and cold appetizers and desserts. The first three International Food Festivals raised $24,700 for international and multicultural student scholarships.

"Our community benefits when students from other countries learn about the United States and teach us about the challenges facing their countries," said Rotary member Jim Price.

Tickets are $20, and may be purchased in advance by contacting Sharon Bernier for additional information 207-741-5662 or SBernier@smccme.edu, or online.
