Purple Asparagus Annual Benefit: 8/26 at Crust

FAMILY DINNER TO BENEFIT PURPLE ASPARAGUS

Please join us on August 26, 2007, from 4:00pm-6:00pm for a family dinner at “Crust: Eat Real”. Located at 2056 West Division, Crust is the first certified organic restaurant in the Midwest. The event will be great fun for all ages. Chef Altenberg is graciously opening his restaurant to us for a family dinner that will be great fun for all ages. The event, which is sponsored by Goodness Greeness, America's largest privately-held organic distributor, will feature a bountiful sampling from Crust's wonderful menu as well as organic beer, wine and non-alcoholic beverages.

But don’t forget your checkbook! For added fun, there will be a live auction where you can bid on a guest spot on the award-winning webcast, SPATULATTA! We also have some great silent auction items, including: a Chicago Barbecue Tour with the great and mighty GWiv; a Sustainable Evening, a seasonal meal prepared with local and sustainable product by Monogramme Events & Catering and paired with sustainable wines from Provenance Food & Wine; and a birthday party for 15 at The Kids’ Table - where healthy food is fun!

Best of all, proceeds for the event and the auction will go to Purple Asparagus, a non-profit dedicated to bringing families back to the table by promoting and enjoying all the things associated with good eating. Your donations will help us expand our programs in the schools and further our ability to teach families about good eating.

Adult tickets are $45.00 for members and $50.00 for non-members.
Big Kid (5-12) tickets are $10.00 for members and $12.00 for non-members.
Little Kids are free.
