VineRestaurant 2 Vine Supports Student Success at MCC

Throughout the year area restaurants and businesses generously contribute to our mission of offering deserving students the support they need to be successful at MCC and beyond. Last year, Restaurant 2 Vine kindly donated two fantastic dinners to the MCC Foundation, raising important funds for the college and offering some terrific MCC donors a wonderful evening out!

 

Our thanks to Jerry Serafine and the outstanding staff at Restaurant 2 Vine for their remarkable support. It is truly appreciated.
