White House Chef (#mom103)
EPISODE PREMIERE: April 25, 2013
Original episode guide here

A devoted family man and passionate cook, Derek James had always dreamed of becoming a chef at the highest level, serving heads of state and dignitaries. After graduating with honors from Le Cordon Bleu culinary school, Derek dove straight into the restaurant business. But when his restaurant couldn't survive the economic downturn, Derek was left with bills to pay and a family to support, and for the sake of stability chose to put his culinary dreams on the backburner and instead pursue a career in IT.

Now, Derek is about to get one more shot at making his long-simmering dreams come true. Under the guidance of his new mentor, former White House Chef Walter Scheib, Derek will hone his culinary skills and master the fine art of cultural protocol, essential knowledge for a chef at the highest level. After a rigorous training period, Derek will get the chance to cook for and interview with a premier catering company that handles the high profile events at the Richard M. Nixon Presidential Library. Can he take the heat, or will Derek get out of the kitchen once and for all?
Hopeful Update:
After impressing the team at White House Catering, Derek was offered a chance to join the company. On the job for months now, Derek has numerous high-profile events under his belt. Score an invitation to a swanky party at the Richard Nixon Library, and you just might get to experience Derek's cooking for yourself!

The Gomez Family and Caterina's Club

This week, Caterina's Club provided the security deposit and first month's rent for the Gomez family (pictured with the youngest of their 5 children) to move out of the motels and into a 3 bedroom townhouse. We felt so humbled to be a part of this family's fresh start in their brand new home! 


This is the 35th family that Caterina's Club has helped to support out of the motel lifestyle. 
We wish them all the best!

CNN Heroes: Update on Bruno Serato and Caterina's Club

Hello my friends,

At the end of this month, I am hosting a charity gala for Caterina's Club to raise money for families living in motels. The event is Sunday, April 28th with a champagne reception at 5:30pm, dinner at 6:30pm and a fashion show by Betinnis in Brea. This is a cause that is very close to my heart, and I want this event to be a success so that we can help many families to sail out of motel living and into permanent and safe housing solutions. Would you help me raise money for Caterina's Club by selling tables and tickets to the gala on April 28th? Tickets are $250 per person or $2,500 for a table of 10. We also have sponsorship opportunities at $5,000 and $10,000.

My work in helping families move out of the motels is going to be featured on CNN this whole week. You can watch the video at the link below. There are so many more families that need our help, and the proceeds of this event will go directly to moving families out of the motels and into permanent housing.
