US Patent and Trademark Office, Alexandria
It’s that time of year -we’re gearing up for this year’s annual Taste For Giving with a goal of raising over $60,000 to benefit Alexandria community charities and non-profit organizations.
The Taste For Giving is a festive evening to which the public is invited, featuring the best of Alexandria’s restaurants, wine tasting form local vineyards, live music, raffles and silent auction items donated by local citizens and businesses. This year’s annual Taste For Giving will be held on Friday, October 21, 2016 at the US Patent and Trademark Office Building in Alexandria. The “Taste For Giving” is a highlight of each rotary year, and is a wonderful way for the community to support so many outstanding service organizations which help the underserved and disadvantage citizens of our community. This evening exemplifies the Rotary mission of “Service Above Self.”
If you’ve never experienced Taste for Giving, you’re in for a treat. We’ll have 15-18 of Alexandria’s restaurants offering tastes from their menus, beer and wine, music, fun, and both live and silent auctions featuring great vacations, unusual items, and awesome collectibles.
Local Alexandria restaurants donate all the food & staff for the evening and the array is astounding! Guests are free to float from table to table and nobody’s counting how many helpings you have. The money raised through tickets sales and the auctions will go to charities right here in Alexandria. This year we have confirmed:
Ben and Jerry’s, Carluccio’s, Chart House, Dishes of India, Firehook, Hard Times, Laporta’s, Nando’s Peri Peri, Overwood, Pork Barrel BBQ, Port City Brewing, Red Rocks, Sweet Fire Donna’s, Tempo, Trademark, Union Street
The Alexandria Rotary Club’s Annual Taste for Giving supports 40+ local charitable organizations through funds raised at the event. Please help support these Alexandria charities by attending the Taste for Giving.
All that for the low price of $75 a ticket! But if you signup now you can get your tickets for the early bird rate of $55 a ticket through the end of August and $65 between September 1st through the 30th.
