LBW Community College students, faculty and staff in Andalusia enjoyed a recent chili and soup cook-off, sponsored by the Alpha Beta Eta Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa honor society. Funds raised from the event are helping to defray the cost of chapter members attending an international convention. Darbee Knowles, LBWCC financial affairs cashier, won the People’s Choice Award in the Chili and Soup Cook-off this week. She shared her recipe with instructions to “Enjoy!”
