Main Street Vineland’s signature fundraising event, its A Taste of Vineland & Volunteer Recognition Event, will return on Wednesday, October 24, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Greenview Inn at Eastlyn Golf Course. 4049 Italia Ave., Vineland.

The major sponsor for this event, now in its eighth year, is Century Savings Bank.

Vineland’s finest restaurants will be offering a vast array of delicious foods—main courses, appetizers, and desserts—at this event, which will also include a fabulous silent auction and much more.

Main Street Vineland will also recognize those of its volunteers who have contributed greatly to the work of the organization. Dennis Ingraldi, longtime member of the Main Street Vineland Board of Directors, and Andre Rivera, a volunteer who been active in several Main Street Vineland initiatives, will receive Main Street Vineland’s “Volunteer of the Year” Award. Ingraldi is being recognized for his years of dedication and Main Street Vineland Board of Directors, of which he is the Vice-Chairperson and former Corresponding Secretary/Treasurer. Rivera is being recognized for his leadership in helping to organize several upcoming initiatives—including a downtown Walking Trail and a 5K run.

Tickets are $40 and are on sale now, and proceeds will go toward downtown beautification, business recruitment and development, and events. Tables of 10 are available for $400. “The value of this great event will have a large, visible impact on our downtown and the important part our downtown plays in our city,” said Main Street Vineland Executive Director Russell Swanson.
