The TrainND Foundation announced their First Inaugural Death by Chocolate fundraiser event. The event is being advertised to be an exclusive, semi-formal chocolate dessert sampling on Saturday, February 11th, 2023, from 7pm-11pm at the James Memorial Art Center.
“Our guests and donors will enjoy classical music and wine pairings or cocktails while they make their way through the various dessert stations and have the option to bid on full size desserts in a silent auction,” said Lindsee Reynen, treasurer of the TrainND Foundation. “We are very much looking forward to bringing a unique dessert-themed event to the area and if you are a lover of sweet treats you won’t want to miss this event!”
The event is designed to showcase 15 or more local chefs and restaurants that will prepare bite size desserts with chocolate as the main feature for guests to enjoy.
The TrainND Foundation was established in June 2022 and one of the main initiatives this year is the creation of a scholarship program to make workforce and career training available to those in need, who may not qualify for other financial assistance. Programs currently included in this scholarship effort are CDL, Crane, Certified Nursing Assistant, and recently our ASCENT Unmanned Aeronautical Academy more commonly known as the Drone Program.
“We are excited to make this Death by Chocolate event something the community can look forward to annually. The impact of the funds raised during this event will allow the TrainND Foundation to continue its mission of changing lives and industry by supporting the highest quality workforce training by funding scholarship for individuals in need of assistance,” said Kenley Nebeker, president of the TrainND Foundation. “We invite the community to join us at this event and enjoy some amazing desserts and support workforce development in our region.”
A limited number of tickets will be available for purchase starting Monday, January 9th at TrainND Northwest (415 22nd Ave NE Williston, ND 58801) for $100/couple or $60/single. Please check the TrainND Northwest Facebook page as more details become available, such as chef and restaurant features, auction items and more.

Sponsors, Music and Other Show Notes
Studio Sponsor: The Industrial Forest
The Industrial Forest is a network of environmentally minded and socially conscious businesses that are using industrial innovations to build a network of sustainable forests across the United States.
Weekly Sponsor: Stephen Heins, The Practical Environmentalist
Historically, Heins has been a writer on subjects ranging from broadband and the US electricity grid, to environmental, energy and regulatory topics.
Heins is also a vocal advocate of the Internet of Everything, free trade, and global issues affecting the third of our planet that still lives in abject poverty.
Heins is troubled by the Carbon Tax, Cap & Trade, Carbon Offsets and Carbon Credits, because he questions their efficacy in solving the climate problem, are too gamable by rent seekers, and are fraught with unreliable accounting.
Heins worries that climate and other environmental reporting in the US and Europe has become too politicized, ignores the essential role carbon-based energy continues to play in the lives of billions, demonizes the promise and practicality of Nuclear Energy and cheerleads for renewable energy sources that cannot solve the real world problems of scarcity and poverty.
Look at what’s happened to me.
I can’t believe it myself.
Suddenly I’m down at the bottom of the world.
It should have been somebody else
Believe it or not, I’m walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free-e-e.
Barterin’ away with some wings at the fair
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it’s just me
