The Dog Days of Summer. Time to dream of sugar plums, dine on turkey and knishes, sip a hot toddy or two and maybe steal a kiss under the mistletoe. And it all happens at a one-of-a-kind summer party called “Chrismukkah in July,” a Merry Mish Mash that will make the real December holidays happier for a special group of local teens.
The zany fundraiser, replete with crazy delicious eats and whimsical winter drinks, takes place July 20that Fortina Stamford. (For entry to a bash that only the Fortina boys could concoct, click the ticket link at the end of this article.)
The party is being thrown by the Junior Board of Domus, a non-profit organization that serves struggling youth in the region. At their charter schools in Stamford and New Haven, Domus creates programs that allow vulnerable kids to forge a pathway to health, opportunity, and satisfying lives.
This year, Domus seniors achieved a 100% high school graduation rate. (Click http://domuskids.org/ to learn more of their amazing success stories.)
Domus has always enjoyed a productive partnership with the food community. In the past, their Trafigura Work and Learn program has sold garden and greenhouse produce at local farmers markets and to restaurants like The Whelk in Westport and Columbus Park Trattoria in Stamford as well as David’s Catering.
