A Big Heart & Generosity

Wow! What an event we had here in Appliance World’s showroom on Tuesday evening. We hosted a charity function for Girls Inc., a support program for young girls that has been in existence since the late 1800’s.  The group encourages girls to be strong, smart and bold. They show girls how to discover and get excited about their potential.

What can I say except that our community has a huge heart. Our local restaurants and bakeries donated their time, their culinary expertise and fabulous food. Mascali of East Northport was putting on a fabulous show with his flaming shrimp, great baked clams and the most delicious eggplant rollatini. Rookies of Huntington was here with their famous wings and pigs in the blanket. Honu Kitchen and Cocktails created a fabulous duck appetizer as well as a most delicious butternut squash soup. Old Fields Inn decorated the kitchen beyond belief and made home-style Manhattan clam chowder along with brioche rolls filled with sausage and peppers. A Rise Above does go above and beyond with their homemade cookies. They always contribute to our fund raising events. Kathleen King, one of the honorees, donated cookies from her company Tate’s Cookies. Starbucks never fails to provide us with their great coffee.

We are so fortunate to work with such great businesses. Once again, we were able to raise a significant amount of money for the organization due to the generosity of these establishments. Be mindful, that 100% of the money goes to the charity organization.

My suggestion:  Frequent these restaurants if you are thinking about going out to dinner or lunch.You will experience great food prepared by the most generous and kind people. It’s all about giving back.

Until next time – Happy Cooking!
