It’s
not every evening that you can have a filling dinner, served to you by a
big-name Taylor “celebrity,” and have 10 percent of the profits (plus tips) go
to benefit one of the most rewarding programs in the community – the Taylor
Reading Corps!
But
that’s exactly what is going to happen March 31 at the Big Boy Restaurant,
10450 Telegraph Road, Taylor, when notables from around the city converge
during dinnertime, all for the benefit of the Taylor Reading Corps, a 501(c)3
non-profit organization that recruits, trains and supervises a network of volunteers
to work in the Taylor School District.
The
TRC is totally dependent on grassroots’ donations, fund-raising, and literacy
and foundations grants.
Many
Taylor notables will be on hand to wait tables during the fundraiser. Those
committed thus far are:
Dave Gorgon, former
local newspaper journalist and retired city employee who now serves in a
communications position with the City of Romulus
Doug Geiss, state
representative
Diane Allen, the
superintendent of Taylor School District and a former longtime principal in the
district
Hoon-Yung
Hopgood,
state senator
Ray Basham, Wayne
County Commissioner
Edward
Bourassa, Taylor
City Treasurer
Larry
Domski, City
Inspector and member of the Domski family that hosts the “True Meaning of
Christmas Dinner” each and every year at the William Ford Senior Activities
Center in Taylor
No
reservations are needed. Just show up hungry!
