EB Educational Foundation Kitchen Tour
Posted on January 8, 2008 at 10:09 PM
East Brunswick Educational Foundation is sponsoring a Kitchen Tour in May. They are looking for help from the East Brunswick PTA's to work on some committees. For those you who do not know what a Kitchen Tour is, it is eight to ten houses in East Brunswick that are opening up their kitchens for local restaurants to come and cook in.
While the event is not until May, we are looking for volunteers now to get involved with the event committees and start planning for a successful event!! As more details become available and the date approaches, we will post more information. If you are interested in participating, please contact Margaret Dalla Torre or Robin Adkins.
The following are the Committee Descriptions for this event. All Committees will appoint a Chair who will be responsible for attending monthly meetings to report on the Committee’s progress. Each Committee Chair will be responsible for planning the meetings that will be needed for their individual tasks.
House/Restaurant Committee: 5 members
This committee is responsible for scouting and approving the 8 homes and sponsoring restaurants for the tour. After creating a checklist for both categories, the committee will visit the homes and meet to make the final decisions, as well as work with the restaurants to establish the menu. The committee will also match the home with the restaurant. In addition, they will meet with the homeowners at least twice during the process to provide information and do a walk through the evening prior to the event. Several homes and restaurants have already volunteered to participate and it is anticipated that several more will present themselves shortly.
