It continues to remove barriers for its participants in all programs.PROGRAM GOALSWASAC delivers a number of programs thoughout the year. Each of these programs maintains a strong focus with four key areas for both employees and participants: Belonging, Mastery, Independence, and Generosity.BelongingIn all WASAC programs, we strive to create an environment where participants and leaders feel welcomed. Every person who is involved in our programs receives a shirt with the program name stamped on the front. This is to show them that they are part of a team.MasteryEveryone feels proud when they look at themselves knowing that they have talent. WASAC programs are designed to provide workshops for both participants and leaders. Youth mentorship plays a big role in our organization and we go above and beyond to remove barriers for people to notice their talents. We give many opportunities for participants to shine in sport, art and crafts, and cultural workshops.
When two chefs decided to open their own casual French bistro on Main Street in this little mill town, people were a bit surprised.Lee has, however, such a great diversity of people and culinary choices, we were sure it would work out. Years of training in French fine dining made us long to have a place of our own, 'chez nous,' to cook our favorite things in an atmosphere where people could really relax and enjoy.Franck Tessier and Rachel PortnoyWe first met in 1997 while Franck was working in his first post as Executive Chef at The Point, in Saranac Lake, NY. Franck had left behind his native France a few years before to work in London at the renowned two-Michelin starred restaurant, Le Gavroche. After three years working his way up through the ranks, he was sent to The Point, a Relais & Chateau property for whom Le Gavroche consulted. When I sent my resume to The Point to apply for the Pastry Chef position, unbeknownst to us, our partnership began.
