Wide-Range Appeal Equals Success for 2008 Dinners of Distinction
We are thrilled to once again thank you for making a difference in this community by contributing to the record-breaking success of our spring events. Table to Table volunteers clocked countless hours in order to raise funds in our continued effort to provide fresh, wholesome meals to the ever-growing number of hungry people in our communities. This year’s spring events – the splendid 2008 Chefs Gala and delightfully eclectic Great Grill & Pig Out – proved those hours were, indeed, well spent, raising a record-breaking sum for Table to Table while drawing distinguished guests and noted honorees from within the culinary community.
