It’s time for the Tenant Resource Center’s “Iron Chef” Cook-off event. It will be at the Brink Lounge from 5 – 7 on Friday, March 27th. Find out how you can help keep Dane County families in their homes.
So, its that time of year again! When we raise money to help area families stay in their homes. As you probably all already know, the economy is hitting families hard, especially low income families so the need for our Housing Crisis Fund is greater than ever. Because we received funding from the State, this year 100% of what we raise will go directly to a family in need. So, here’s how you can help!
1. Sponsor the event $1000, $500, $250, $100, $50, $25 or whatever you can spare!!! Your name will go out on the invitation and the promotional materials for the event. I need to know the sponsors by Monday (March 9) at noon.
2. Sign up to be a chef. We usually have 8 chefs that pair up and battle with 4 different ingredients (one ingredient per pair). We have half the slots filled, including a re-match between County Board Chair Scott McDonell and Michael Basford (their ingredient is beer!), and returning chefs Michael Jacob and Heidi Konkel but if you’re interested in preparing 3 or 4 dishes for 75 people for a good cause, let us know!! We can tell you more about the rules, but you cook at home and bring in the food.
3. Be a judge! If you’d like to be a judge, let me know, some food may have meat in it, but we have figured out ways to have vegetarian judges as well.
4. Mark your calendar, Come to the Event, Bring your friends! The event will be March 27th at The Brink Lounge (701 E Washington Ave.) from 5 – 7:00.
