On Saturday, 19th February The Salvation Army in association with O’Soleil Restaurant will transform the Somerset’s Croquet lawn into a “Chocolate Heaven” for an unforgettable delicious evening.
The first 2011 charity event on the cards for O’Soleil will bring together Pastry Chefs from a wide cross section of the islands to showcase their creativity as they compete for the best edible chocolate creations.
Chocolate connoisseurs and chocoholics attending the Chocolate Lover’s Showcase will enjoy featured performances by a Toronto Symphony Orchestra violinist while savouring a chocolate themed drink, a specialty coffee or sipping a complimentary glass of champagne courtesy of the Wine Cellar. Persons will also get the chance to participate in a silent auction with proceeds going towards The Salvation Army. The event which starts at 8:00 p.m. will conclude with an awards presentation for “Top TCI Dessert”, “People’s Choice Award” and a “Honourable Mention Award”.
Gordon Lightbourne, O’Soleil’s Director of Food and Beverage, who expressed delight at hosting the inaugural event said, “The Salvation Army is noticeably active in our local communities and O’Soleil feels that it is fitting to support the organisation by graciously hosting this showcase on their behalf. TCI’s Pastry Chefs are some of the best in the world and their level of creativity is truly remarkable. I encourage everyone to come out and have a great time while supporting this worthy charity.”
Lightbourne added, “We also encourage persons to continue to support O’Soleil and look forward to welcoming you at our Tuesday Caribbean Nights, Mojito Thursdays, and our popular Friday night Happy Hour.”
Tickets for the event are $50.00 and sales go towards The Salvation Army’s high school lunch programme. Tickets are available for purchase from Green Bean Cafe in Turtle Cove, or by contacting Mathew at 431-9711 or via email at Mathew_trayler@car.salvationarmy.org.
