Had enough of winter? Enjoy a Spirit of the 60s themed party at the 23rd annual Taste of Troy benefit for the Boys & Girls Club of Troy on Sunday, March 1 from 1-4 pm at the San Marino Club, 1685 E. Big Beaver Road. Tickets are $50 in advance (available at the Club or online at bgctroy.org) and $60 at the door.
“Thanks to the San Marino Club, attendees will enjoy all the fun of experiencing the Spirit of the 60s,” said Jeff Evans, CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Troy. “Experience the fun with the evolution of rock music including the Beatles and Rolling Stones, hippies, peace signs, groovy fashions and lots of mouth-watering food prepared by Troy’s finest restaurants.”
“What could be more fun than savoring the delicious cuisine, enjoying great rock music from our past, live and silent auctions and psychedelic raffles — while raising money for a great cause — the Boys & Girls Club? Proceeds from the event will help the organization provide a safe place for 1,200 young people to interact, learn, grow and develop into contributing members of this community,” said Cindy Stewart, BGCT Board Member and Chair of the Taste of Troy event.
In addition to mouth-watering food sampling Taste of Troy attendees can bid on gift baskets, sports tickets, spa, hotel and restaurant gift certificates in the silent auction, enjoy music and be a part of the live auction with WDIV TV 4 Meteorologist Andrew Humphrey. Participating restaurants compete for awards including Critics’ Choice and People’s Choice.
