Join us for light refreshments, followed by a local speaker and short business meeting. Our local speaker will be library member and cheese expert Marc Bates. Marc will have some cheese for us to sample as we gather and then will give a presentation on national and international cheese competitions. He will provide an overview of the purpose, size, and organization of events that start with thousands of entries and result in the selection of a single champion cheese! Marc will also attempt to answer your general cheese questions. Marc Bates is retired from Bates Consulting LLC after a 59-year career in the cheese, dairy and food industries. He managed the Washington State University Creamery for 27 years and has offered Cheesemaking, Pasteurization, and Food Safety Short courses on the Pacific Coast in association with major universities and in-house training at larger companies in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and California for 40 years. Marc has previously served as a judge for Collegiate Dairy Products Evaluation Competition, the United States and World Cheese Championships, the American Cheese Society, and the American Dairy Goat Association.
