Posted 8/24/2010 9:06pm by Leslie Cooperband or Wes Jarrell.
Dear Patrons, particularly those who live in the Champaign Urbana Community or in Central Illinois:
I want to call your attention to an upcoming fundraising dinner to benefit the Flatlander Fund!
On Sunday, August 29 from 6-9PM the Corkscrew Wine Emporium will host a fundraising dinner in their new Buvons! Wine Bar to support Dan Schreiber’s dream of a community kitchen for Champaign-Urbana. The event will feature a 3-course gourmet dinner with wine pairing. Tickets are $100/person and seating is limited. For reservations, contact Laura at 217-778-1687 or donate@flatlanderfund.org. Dinner payments can be made online here (put “dinner” in the memo line, please) or by mailing a check to Prairie Table/Flatlander Fund, 201 W. Green, Urbana, IL 61801. Click here for more details, the menu, and to read more about the Flatlander Fund.
HERE IS A MORE DETAILED LETTER OF APPEAL FROM LAURA HUTH OF DO-GOOD CONSULTING WHO IS VOLUNTEERING HER TIME TO ORGANIZE THIS BENEFIT DINNER.
Hi all:
As many of you have heard, I am volunteering my time to help establish the Flatlander Fund to honor the memory of Dan Schreiber and to help build a community kitchen in Champaign-Urbana – something Dan deeply supported. (www.flatlanderfund.org)
Dan died a couple weeks ago at age 24. He was passionate about local foods, good food, community gatherings, bean-to-bar chocolate, and making the community a better place. He was an entrepreneur, a visionary, full of energy, and always was involved in great things. As we mourn the loss of our friend and colleague, many in the community are also rallying behind Dan’s dream to make the kitchen a reality, and we created the Flatlander Fund to do just that (Flatlander was the name of Dan’s chocolate company – he made REALLY GOOD chocolate).
The Corkscrew Wine Emporium in downtown Urbana has graciously opened the doors to their wonderful new wine bar, Buvons! to host a fundraising dinner on Sunday, August 29 to benefit the Flatlander Fund. From 6-9PM that night volunteers will serve an absolutely scrumptious 3-course gourmet dinner featuring local foods accompanied by a wine pairing from the Corkscrew. More information about the dinner, the menu, etc. is at www.flatlanderfund.org.
Tickets are $100/person and seating is limited to 40 people (and going fast). For reservations, contact me at 217-778-1687 or donate@flatlanderfund.org.
If you’re not able to make the event, I encourage you to support the concept of a community kitchen with a donation, which can be made here: http://rememberingdan.org/in-memoriam/, or by sending a check to Prairie Table/Flatlander Fund, 201 W. Green, Urbana, IL 61801. Dan and I shared a lot of things in common: a love of great local foods, a passion for a better community, an entrepreunurial spirit, as well as a common dream of a community kitchen. Dan’s passing has left a hole in our community, no doubt. But together, we can help create a kitchen that would cultivate food entreprenuers, share great food with the community, help teach others about food, and make Dan’s dream a reality.
I have made a contribution to the Flatlander Fund, and hope you will join me in supporting this effort, too.
Kindest regards,
Laura Huth
