If you like good food & wine you should know about a fun event coming up next Thursday night at the Del Mar Powerhouse Community Center. It’s the oceanfront building next to Jake’s restaurant on Coast Blvd.
Anyway, it’s called Taste of Humanity and it’s to benefit Women for Women International, they are a non-profit organization that helps women surivivors of war, and rape as a weapon of war, all around the world. Did you see the story Anderson Cooper did on 60-Minutes call ‘The War Against Women’? Anyway, that’s what the fundraiser is all about. Helping these women rise above the horror of being brutally raped, having their children raped, their families watch, being dragged around and forced to be sex slaves, and more horrific instances.
The evening is not heavy and depressing, rather a festive event to celebrate what Women for Women International does for these women so they can lead productive lives and provide for their family.
Five San Diego restaurants will provide food including: Alborz (Persian), Star of India (Indian), La Vache (French), Sushi on the Rock (Japanese), and Villa Capri (Italian), in addition to many delectable desserts.
More than 50 Silent Auction items and 25 Raffle items will add to the fun plus a Grammy Nominated virtuoso guitarist, Joaquin Lievano.
Tickets are 100% deductable and cost $100 per person in advance. For more info visit www.tasteofhumanity.com or call 858-775-1872.
See you there!
The wine festival is something good, I think it would be nice if we had other festivals that would be helpful. Maybe substance abuse eradication festival.
