Our first of two great Brazilian parties in April, that will help Leticia George fundraise for a great cause, will be happening Friday April 2.
Regular Friday gym time 3-5pm, followed by bouncy castle night with the castle gifted to us by the Engs in full swing in the gym from 6:30 on.
Important to know: Usually our food service stops at 7 but Leticia plans to serve until 8:30 (or until all her food is gone) for everyone who’s hungry for:
- Adult plate of Feijoada (black bean stew with pork) + rice + brazilian style salad: $5
- Adult place of “veggie” Feijoada (black beans only) + rice + brazilian style salad: $4
- Child plate of Feijoada (black bean stew with pork) + rice + brazilian style salad: $3
- Child plate of “veggie” Feijoada (black beans only) + rice + brazilian style salad: $2
- Pão de queijo (yummy “cheese rolls”, you don’t really know what they are until you try them and get hooked! an they are gluten free): $2
- Brazilian style salad only: $2
- Dessert: Brigadeiro or Beijinho (chocolate or coconut “truffles” – and yes, you will want more than one!): $2
- Juice: $1
All the food is fresh and being cooked today and tomorrow. She has shopped locally and will be incorporating organic ingredients.
Here’s Leticia’s fundraising story . . . come support her and enjoy a great meal too.
“Noite Brasileira!! Come one, come all, the Brazilian night is back and so is yummy food with a new twist: you will be eating to support a wonderful cause! I am training to complete a Triathlon (GULP!) in June as a member of the The Leukemia &Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Team In Training. In exchange for all the guidance we have from couches to participate in this endurance event, we raise funds to help the LLS stop Cancer from taking more lives. Every four minutes someone new is diagnosed with blood cancer, every 10 minutes someone dies. In the US only, more than 1,500 people a day were expected to die of cancer in 2009. The most common cancer in children is leukemia and it causes more deaths than any other cancer among children. All proceeds raised from our participation on this challenge will support LLS’s programs of research (to find a CURE!), patient aid, public and professional education and community service. That being said, I NEED your help to meet my monetary goal of $3400 for the LLS. So how can you help? Come to the swap shop to enjoy some yummy Brazilian food, bring your friends! All the profit from that night will go to my fundraising. Please check my to get the full story and if you can’t make to dinner (but I really hope you do!), you can donate there as well.
