The cost is $30 for the public and $25 for members. The non-members' price includes a $5 tax-exempt donation for LDEI-DC scholarships.

Reservations and cancellations must be made by June 18.

Susan Soorenko describes her vision behind Moorenko's Ice Cream simply: find the best ingredients and make something fabulous.

A news release from the factory says, “Moorenko's Ice Cream begins with the highest quality local dairy products available, adds some fresh fruit, some nutritious nuts, some crazy outstanding chocolate, a little magic, et voila! Happiness in a bowl. Her dairy products come from small, family-owned, local farms and the ice cream is 17% milkfat (ultra-premium) with a rich custard base. If you haven't yet experienced this luxurious ice cream, come and taste it for yourself!”

At Moorenko’s June 25 program, participants will:

• help make a batch of ice cream;
• Tour the Moorenko's Ice Cream Factory;
• Discuss the ice cream making process and the industry;
• Learn how to determine if an ice cream is worth the price;
• Find out how to taste ice cream;
• Eat the ice cream right after it's made; and...
• Take home a pint!

This event takes place at the factory, not at the shop on Georgia Avenue. The factory is located at 8810 Brookville Road in Silver Spring.
