Thought I would spread the word about this fundraiser because it sounds like a delicious way to contribute to this worthy cause. "United Way of Putnam’s will be hosting their third annual Putnam Best Chefs and Fine Wines at The Garrison from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday, September 19, 2011,. The event features tastings of signature dishes, delectable edibles, fine wines and micro-brews from the region’s best establishments. Proceeds will help United Way reduce childhood obesity, get healthy foods to low-income families and steer teens away from risky behaviors like drugs and alcohol.
In addition, the Hudson Valley Gateway Chamber of Commerce, Professional Women of Putnam and other local Chambers of Commerce have teamed up to help support the cause. Community residents and business men and women will mix, mingle and forge valuable relationships while enjoying spectacular views of the Hudson River."
Event attendees will sample cuisine from a growing list of Putnam County’s finest restaurants, including; Arturo’s Tavern; The Bird and Bottle Inn; Brewster Pastry; Bucci Deli & Catering; Cathryn’s Tuscan Grill; Countryside Kitchen; Cross Roads Deli and Catering; Fresh Company; Hudson Hill’s Café & Market; Johnny Gelato; Junction 52; La Cucina Toscana; Olive Oil of the World; Putnam Ridge; Tavern Restaurant at Highlands Country Club; Thai Golden Restaurant; The Stadium; and Valley Restaurant at The Garrison.
