Delicious Door Prizes At ACS' Kitchen Tour

Please join us Wednesday, June 6th from 10:00 am until 2:00pm for the Garden City Unit of the American Cancer Society's "Heart of the Home" Kitchen Tour. This event allows you to tour five of the most breathtaking kitchens and great rooms in Garden City. We hope you will enjoy the newest addition to the fun of the tour: Breakfast at the Garden City Country Club between 9:00 and 11:00 am. With your tour ticket you are also invited to visit The Viking School at Loaves & Fishes Cookshop at 835 Franklin Avenue, for cooking demonstrations and food tastings in their multi-level theater and a one-day 10% discount on merchandise (excluding major appliances) and classes. But even if you are unable to make this exciting event, held just once every other year, you can still enjoy some of the fun and help a good cause by participating in the door prizes.

New this year is the opportunity to win a grand door prize valued at approximately $500. For each $25 donation, your name will be entered to win a beautiful sterling silver bangle bracelet with matching earrings from Tiffany & Co. of Manhasset's mesh collection.
