My Friend Hans 

By Kaedy Kiely

You may know that over the past year I've been spending time at The Cancer Wellness Center at Piedmont, taking advantage of some wonderful classes and meeting lots of lovely, new friends.  I've gotten to know a first-class chef who does cooking demonstrations at Cancer Wellness, Hans Rueffert, who lost his sister to breast cancer and who has been battling cancer himself for over 5 years.  I remember Hans from the first season of one of my favorite shows, "The Next Food Network Star," where he made it to nearly the very end, and was voted "Fan Favorite" by the viewers of the show.
Hans has a young family, and he and his parents have run The Woodbridge Inn in Jasper, GA since the '70s.  He recently lost his dad Joe rather suddenly, so you can imagine his family has been through hell and back several times.  Unfortunately, they're on another trip there as Hans is currently in Houston recovering from some very serious surgeries. 
I hope you'll consider taking a trip to the Inn if you have some time to travel close to home to our gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains.  You might just take that short drive to Jasper for an evening to dine on an amazing 3-course meal at The Woodbridge Inn, or stay the night or even a long weekend to enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery.  You also have an opportunity to win a free night's stay and 3-course dinnerat The Woodbridge Inn if you go to the contest page here on our website.  Just click onto the "Contests" tab at the top of our homepage and register there.  This Friday is your last day to sign up to win! 
The Rueffert family is incredibly brave and has given so much to many others.  I want to see their precious family business flourish for many years to come.  Trust me, it'll be worth the visit!
