A Taste of Point to Benefit Point Boro HS PTO

The Point Boro High School PTO is sponsoring the second

annual “A Taste of Point” fundraiser on Sunday, March 23 from 1-5pm. Several area restaurants, including Forte, The Offshore, The Ark, The Shore House, and The Idle Hour will showcase their favorite menu selections for ticket-holders to sample throughout

the afternoon. Shore House will serve Drunken Chicken
(served in vodka sauce), Black and White Chicken, assorted chicken wings, and sausage
and peppers. At the Idle Hour, diners will
enjoy crab cakes, sliders, barbeque ribs. The Ark
will feature a choice of Manhattan
or New England Clam Chowder, macaroni and cheese with bacon and onions, Cod
Fingers, Blackened Filet Tips with barbeque sauce over cheddar toast points and
home-made carrot cake. The Offshore will offer Chicken
Francaise, Penne ala Vodka, Beef Tips Marsala and Caesar Salad. Forte will present Chicken
Paradise (prepared in olive oil, garlic and peppers), a cold antipasto salad,
Bowtie Tomato Salad and mixed vegetables. Additionally, Mueller’s Bakery of
Bay Head is donating desserts which will be available at Forte during the
raffle drawings at 5:00pm. A cash bar will be available at all locations. Proceeds will benefit Project Graduation and the HS PTO Scholarship Fund. The PTO offers several scholarships to graduating seniors pursuing college or other secondary education each year. Project Graduation is

a drug and alcohol free celebration on graduation night designed to keep seniors safe on what has traditionally been one of the deadliest nights of the
year. Grants which supported this event in the past are no longer available and
all funds must be raised by parent groups.  “This is a great way to support our high school seniors, and showcase local restaurants who give so much back to our community,” said HS PTO
President Lanelle Cusack. “It’s also sure to be a fun afternoon out for all who attend.”  A 50/50 raffle will be held and gift baskets will be auctioned at each location. The NCAA men’s basketball third round playoffs can be viewed at most locations that day. Brigg’s Transportation will provide free shuttle service between restaurants for ticket-holders during the event. Tickets are $28 in advance (a

20% savings!) and $35 at the door. To purchase tickets, or for more information, please contact Lanelle Cusack at 732-814-8945 or Rachel Johnston at 732-597-6763. Tickets will
also be available for purchase at the March 12th HS PTO meeting at
7pm in the High School Media Center (library). Last year’s debut was a fun-filled afternoon. Be sure to
attend this exciting event and support Point Boro High School students!
