November 20, 2020 SVBHP Heritage Center 425 Hill Street Harrisonburg, Virginia What a wonderful event! We sold 114 meals, paid for our event and made about $1000.00 for our programs. We honored eight wonderful Chefs: Bethany Johnson Veney, Mary Francis Banks, Charles Robinson, Theodore R. Tolliver, Fay Wright Gaines, Isaiah "Mike" Brown, Evelyn Johnson Veney, and Barbara Tolliver. Many Thanks to all who purchased meals and especially those who purchased meals for the community. We gave away a dozen meals to two honorees and to seniors, shut in due to the virus. They were so happy to get a delicious meal and to be remembered. |
