Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

The Humane Society of Northwest Indiana is located in one of the more depressed areas of the country, Gary, Indiana. We receive many abused and neglected animals. One of the animals that we received was "Legend". "Legend" was kept in a garage with a much larger dog called "Miso". "Miso" would not allow "Legend" to eat her food. When she tried to get to her food, "Miso" would attack her. She became thinner and weaker, until she could barely walk. Her face was abscessed with dog bites and there was a large chunk of flesh torn out from her neck.

A neighbor took pity on "Legend" and talked to the owner (who wasbusy raising 11 children). The owner, after much pleading, gave "Legend" up.

That afternoon we received "Legend". She could barely walk and was skin and bone. She was a Pit Bull that should have weighed at least 55lbs. but instead she weighed 20lbs. But through all of her neglect sheremained a sweet dog....we knew that she needed a second chance.

She was taken to the vet where she remained for 1 week and then was put into a foster home. With love and good care she rallied. She gained weight and is now in a wonderful home with the love she so much deserves. By the way.....we changed here name from "Legend" to "Hope"....because that is what she had once she came into our shelter.

We receive many animals like Hope. This is why we started "Hope's Fund" for other animals like Hope. Because of the economy, the number of animals that are coming into our shelter has risen drastically but the number of donations has gone down...way down. The only way we can help animals like Hope was to set up a specific fund....we call "Hope's Fund." If you would like to see the after pictures of "Hope"...go to our web site at www.millercritters.net

Please donate to "Hope's Fund" so that we can carry on our humane work. Thank you. "

Chef Eric B. Lewis is no stranger to service. Formerly the executive chef at Samaritan House of Atlanta, his first memories of catering revolved around private parties for friends and coworkers. With roughly ten years of experience under his belt, Lewis' ingratiating spirit and culinary imagination have earned him praise from food critics and diners alike.

Lewis' first foray as a restaurant chef was Elegant Soul, a self-owned catering company in Atlanta. At Elegant Soul, east met west with succulently-fused French and American flavors in artistically presented dishes. From there Lewis ventured into a more buffet-style setting at the Crown Plaza Ravinia Hotel, preparing high volumes of foods for countless guests to the city. He quickly advanced from kitchen staff to executive sous chef at The Cabin Room, where he was second in charge of maintaining and supervising kitchen activities. It was here that Lewis honed in on his managerial skills by learning everything from purchase orders to supplies.

Looking to carry his culinary experience to a different venue, Lewis accepted a position as catering chef at Emory University. While at Emory he carefully designed menus for some of the most vocal food critics - college students. After a successful stint with Emory, Lewis continued his educational theme as food service director at the Morehouse School of Medicine. While at Morehouse, he was responsible for an array of areas including staff training, labor scheduling and menu development.

In 2006, Lewis served as executive chef at the Kroger Test Center. He worked closely with the company's corporate chef to implement new pre-packed product and give it a gourmet spin.

In 2007, Lewis served as an ACF mentor, coaching and preparing high school students for the Pro Start National Culinary Competition. Under his tutelage, he led the students to a second place finish.

Lewis has received various awards and accolades for cold food, seafood and four course preparations. In 2008, Lewis was tapped to serve as the Culinary Expert for burgeoning on-line magazine, StarChild.

Recently, Lewis - always in tune with popular tastes - re-visited and embraced his dream as executive chef and owner of Elegant Soul Catering.

Lewis received his associate degree in Culinary Arts from the Art Institute of Atlanta in December 2003.
