The community is invited for fun, food and festivities:'Fun'raiser Announced

Glendale Healthy Kids and the Mary Pinola/Crescenta Valley Chamber of Commerce Educational Fund will be the beneficiaries of a "funraiser" scheduled this Wednesday evening, Feb. 28 at Gourmet a go go in Montrose.

Beginning at 2 p.m. with take out orders and 5 p.m. for delivery and dine in, and continuing until 9 p.m., a percentage of sales and the silent auction will be donated to these two organizations. "We hope everyone will give themselves the night off and buy a delicious meal prepared at Gourmet a go go, in your home, or to put in the freezer to serve when that unexpected company shows up," invited Cathy Keen member of the Board of Directors of Glendale Healthy Kids.

A silent auction is also being held during the evening that will feature handcrafted, unique items perfect for those looking to fill Easter baskets with one-of-a-kind creations or to remember mom on Mothers Day with something special. For those that cannot attend the event at Gourmet a go go, they can still support the organizations by ordering delivery.

Community leaders are scheduled to be on hand throughout the evening to mix and mingle with customers.
