Please join me on Monday in preparation for the 21st annual Taste of the Nation® event in March 2009, the DC Taste of the Nation Volunteer Committee invites all DC foodies to lend a helping hand.
Alongside Chef Chair R.J. Cooper, Chef de Cuisine of Vidalia, the volunteer committee seeks new members to become involved in the planning process of this highly anticipated culinary event.
On Monday, November 10th, 2008 from 6-8 pm, Vidalia's acclaimed wine-tasting happy hour will host a special recruitment event, offering more than a flight of wine. Learn more about how to become an active member in the fight against childhood hunger while sipping and munching on tasty treats, courtesy of Vidalia's dedication to the cause.
Feel free to bring along any guests who may be interested in further involvement with the DC Taste of the Nation Committee.
We look forward to seeing you there!
