Ever wanted to take a peek into the kitchen of your glorious neighbors?

Owners of 5 magnificent homes in the Tri-State area have opened their homes to host a dinner on Saturday, June 23rd, 2012 at 8:00 p.m. ELEM-Entry NY activists are pairing to prepare and serve lavish courses of traditional foods they grew up on, along with great wine. This dinner's guests will also have the opportunity to listen to virtuous musicians who will be joining the different locations.
Behind all these unique stories, there is one bigger story. During this night we are going to support Elem in its effort to help youth in distress in Israel. Participants will be asked to contribute $100 to Elem’s campaign.
This Community Dinner is dedicated to The Center for Prevention and Treatment of Sexual Violence among Children. This center helps minors who sexually offended other minors and their families throughout the country.
To join us for this exciting event, email abaumgart@elem.org to RSVP. Tell her which house you chose from the list below and whether you have any dietary restrictions. Amanda will send you a confirmation by email.
