VOYAGE INTO SUMMER 2009 WITH MS FUNDRAISER

Culinary Stars Showcases Local Restaurants and their Best Dishes

In the third annual Culinary Stars event, chefs from across New Jersey have a chance to showcase their skills in a unique food tasting evening to benefit the New Jersey Metro Chapter of the National MS Society. On board the luxurious Atlantica yacht, restaurants will serve their finest cuisine while cruising the Hudson and guests enjoy breathtaking views of lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. There will also be musical entertainment and a silent auction featuring some fabulous items including a 37" flat screen television and a 50/50 raffle.

Celebrity chef and cookbook author, Sara Moulton, will be this year's event ambassador. This is Sara's third year of involvement with Culinary Stars.

The New Jersey Metro Chapter is one of the largest organizations within the National MS Society and serves almost 10,000 members living with MS, their friends and family, across 14 counties in north and central Jersey. The chapter helps individuals and families cope with the everyday demands of living with MS through a wide range of programs and services.
