I am posting here in full an email from a friend, Beth Romualdez, herself an advocate of breast cancer.

Dear Friends,

It is Pink Kitchen this October – the same yummy event you enjoyed so much last year. This time, it is even better, yummier with more new food items to choose from. We have gathered almost 50 chefs and caterers to participate. Aside from that, we have again twisted the arms of “seasonal cooks” whose specialties are served only in their homes, like Wynn Wynn Ong, Mona Bishier Valdez and Mariko Jacinto to name a few. They are cooking Burmese, Indonesian and Japanese food respectively. Wynn and Mona are no strangers to Pink Kitchen having sold the most, while Mariko is a new participant and she will delight you with her Japanese creations.

Adding to the excellent food and wine to enjoy are pocket activities scheduled at 2, 4 and 6pm for 2 days on different topics. They are: Kid’s Baking with Mel Francisco, author of Witchkins; Coffee Preparations with Robert Francisco of Boyd’s Coffee; Wine Appreciation with Ines Cabarrus of Enderun Colleges; Healthy Cooking with Rob Pengson, TV Host of Chef-on-the-Go; Cake Creations with award-winning Pastry Chef Buddy Trinidad and Look Good, Feel Good Skin Program by Becca cosmetics of Adora.

The organizing committee is headed by Kara Alikpala (Pres. of ICanServe), Bettina Osmena (Chairman, Fund-Raising) Beth Romualdez (Chairman, Pink Kitchen), Libet Virata (Chairman, Marketing and Sponsorship) Via Romualdez-Reyes (Project Manager), Alice Orleans, Executive Director, ICanServe; Ina Vergel de Dios (Physical Arrangements); Ria Romero, Lian Chua (Finance) and Marge Jorillo.

We have put all our efforts together for a common goal: to raise funds for the benefit of the underserved women with BREAST CANCER. Our thrust, of course, is early detection and that is why ICanServe has launched projects like “Ating Dibdibin” (the first community-based screening program in Marikina) and Silver Linings which was recently held in Cebu . I am inviting you to log on to ICanServe website – www.icanserve.net to know more about the projects being done to increase awareness, fight ignorance and fear among women with cancer.

It is a very worthy cause. I am inviting you once again to enjoy the week-end of Oct. 18 and 19 (Saturday and Sunday) with your family at the Rockwell Tent. This is your chance to savor your favorite foods and seldom- seen- food items, being waited on by the hospitality students of Enderun Colleges inside a beautifully decorated Tent. Be there at the opening at 11am for lunch, followed by a merienda break at 3pm. Walk around a little at the mall then come back for wine and dinner and some entertainment at 7pm till 10pm. All day at 200 pesos for adults and 100 for kids entrance fees.

Please call us for tickets – Beth or Via: 0929 848-2918 or order tickets online: pinkkitchen08@yahoo.com

With much appreciation,

Beth

Hi Tita Dine!

I just wanted to share my experience with Pink Kitchen held some time in August, last year.

It was my first time to volunteer for such a big event and for a wonderful cause. There were so many who came and supported the Pink Kitchen. I had a blast in helping out the guests. And for sure, all the volunteers from Enderun Colleges are looking forward to another life-changing event.

The food will be great-no doubt! And your money will be worth it. Not a penny would go to waste! I hope all the readers would check it out. It’s this coming weekend (Saturday and Sunday)—Oct. 18-19.

hope you all could come!
