A TASTE OF CHESTER COUNTY
Tonight we will be celebrating Safe Harbor's misssion at 20 North Matlack Street for the past 15 years. Most importantly, we will have the opportunity to meet, greet and thank more than 200 of the people who have worked up front and behind the scenes for so much of this time. We expect to see many founding members of Safe Harbor, some of the volunteers have been here in our kitchen, serving men and women since 1995 and many who have generously given food, clothing and the financial support needed to keep our doors open.
We are only able to host this wonderful gathering because of the many sponsors committed to Safe harbor. In addition to our presenting sponsor, Clair and Ginny Hoifjeld, Mary Bigham and the Town Dish have been behind us from the early stages. Swig Bartenters will be donating their skills and time. Flower arrangements have been donated by Kenny's Floral Shoppe and the Tipton Family. That doesn't even begin to mention all the community businesses providing food for our Taste of Chester County. Please check our website for a complete list and links to these restaurants. Let them know how much we appreciate their support
Personally, I wish to thank the amazing group of people on the Anniversay Committee who have worked for months to put on this very sincere Thank You celebration.
Gina Harrison, Director of Development
