Students from the Blackstone Valley Tech (BVT) Friends of Rachel Club and Culinary Arts program are once again hosting a series of fundraising dinners to benefit several charitable organizations and causes. The next dinner will be held on Oct. 12, featuring an Italian menu; proceeds will go to the Special Olympics. The monthly dinners are held in the student-run Three Seasons Restaurant located on the BVT campus at 65 Pleasant Street in Upton, MA.
Each all-you-can-eat dinner is held on a Thursday evening and consists of a themed buffet, dessert, and beverage. Following are the two remaining dates, themes, and charitable causes that have been selected for the fall 2017 series of fundraising dinners:
Tickets are $15 for adults and $8 for children under 12. Dinner seatings are scheduled every half hour from 5 to 6:30 PM. Seats are limited and reservations are required. Call Dawn Dubois at 508-529-7758, ext. 2143, to book your reservation.
The BVT Friends of Rachel Club was formed by a group of students who were inspired by a Rachel’s Challenge program presentation made during the 2010-11 school year. The program is named after Rachel Scott, who was the first person killed during the horrific massacre at Columbine High School in 1999. Her acts of kindness and compassion coupled with the contents of her personal diaries have become the foundation for the life-changing program which has had a profound effect on Valley Tech students. The Friends of Rachel Club formed as a means for the students to perpetuate the program’s positive message by practicing random acts of kindness.
