Eating For Good

I have the good fortune to work with a group of caring, courageous people at Cardinal McCloskey Services, in White Plains, NY. They work tirelessly toward protecting, empowering and promoting the independence of society's most vulnerable—children in need and adults with disabilities. CMS provides foster care services, homes for the developmentally disabled, and head start and daycare centers in Westchester, the Bronx and upper Manhattan.

On Apr. 25, in Garrison, NY, Cardinal McCloskey Services will be hosting their fifth annual Spring Wine Tasting & Dinner at a private home overlooking the Hudson River. Guests will enjoy fine wines personally selected by Tony Corso from his private collection, and enjoy a dining experience by acclaimed Iron Chef winner and owner of Xaviar’s Restaurant Group, Peter X. Kelly. (I've had the pleasure of tasting Chef Kelly's creative food at X2O, his restaurant in Yonkers that sits on the Hudson River, where the views are as sumptuous as the food.)

Dinner is followed by a live auction of extraordinary prizes with all proceeds benefiting CMS. The cost $350/person—money that is well worth it.

If you want to eat for good, call 914-997-8000, ext. 114 or email ccondon@cms46.org to sign up. I promise you, nothing could be more satisfying.
