Fundraiser to offer ‘Taste of the Town'

Warwick — Although St. Stephen-St. Edward School’s second annual “Taste of the Town” is months away, event chairpersons Mary Juliano and Karen Pinkham have already begun work for the fundraiser, along with participating restaurateur Michael DiMartino, chef and owner of the Landmark Inn. This year, the tasting will be held on Tuesday, May 16, at St. Stephen-St. Edward School at 75 Sanfordville Road in Warwick. In 2005, the event attracted nearly 1,800 patrons for tastings from local restaurants, and raised over $10,000 for the parish and school. “Last year’s event was very successful, more so than we anticipated. It took many months of planning and organizing to ensure people of all ages would have a good time. And they did. With one year behind us, we have a number of new ideas to make the 2006 Taste of the Town even better. We plan to include more tent space and more restaurants, while organizing the tent space more effectively,” Juliano commented. “We’re really just planning on a bigger and better event,” added Pinkham.
