Just because Valentine’s day won’t happen again for a while, doesn’t mean you can’t hang out with the LoF team year round at other awesome Pittsburgh events! Here are a few upcoming events we will be attending…
Share the Harvest
Thursday, April 1, 2010
6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
The Enrico Biscotti Company in Highland Park
5904 Bryant Street
Pittsburgh, PA 15206
Just Harvest, the Enrico Biscotti Company, and PASA have teamed up to make healthy local foods more available with the first ever Share the Harvest Dinner on April 1st, 2010 at 6pm – 8pm.
The event will take place at the Enrico Biscotti Company’s newest location in Highland Park at 5904 Bryant Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15206.
The $25 per person dinner will feature sustainable, locally grown fare, with the aim of raising funds to provide two families in Pittsburgh with fresh, healthy, organic, locally grown CSA shares for the 2010 season from the Krestchmann Organic Farm. These families will work with community organizations to blog regularly and share their experiences throughout the season. Kretschmann Farm will generously match our funds, providing 1 share for free.
Tickets and reservations can be made through the Enrico Biscotti Company at 412-281-2602 or www.enricobiscotti.com.

5th Annual Let Them Eat Cake Event
Saturday, April 24, 2010
7:30 pm – 10:00 pm
Children’s Museum
The Midwife Center (TMC) is planning its fifth annual Let Them Eat Cake! event, scheduled for Saturday, April 24, 2010 at the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh.
The event features a cake decorating and tasting contest, an open wine and beer bar, entertainment and an amazing silent auction.
Tickets to the event are $40/person, the VIP, which starts at 6:30pm and features champagne and a cake decorating demonstration is $65/person.
A “Strive for Five” party pack includes 5 general admission tickets for only $150!
TMC has set high expectations for our upcoming Cake event! This is our FIFTH YEAR anniversary and we are very proud of our fundraiser—the single largest fundraising event hosted by TMC. We expect to attract at least 300 attendees and raise $15,000 for the Women’s Health Fund, which provides services to women who are under or uninsured.
The theme for the 2010 Let Them Eat Cake! event is “Five to Grow On.” Bakers will be asked to decorate their cakes in a way that is inspired by the number 5 and/or new life and growth. This could be interpreted literally, such as using 5 flavors, layers, or colors, or figuratively, such as planting seeds of change, or growing children and families!
3 of the LoF team are on the planning committee for this event! We hope you can join us!
Lot’s of Love!
