After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the Beyond the Plate dinner is returning to raise money for the Ithaca MobilePack for Feed My Starving Children! The dinner will take place on Sunday, February 19, from 5–9 p.m. here in Mahler Hall. It consists of a five-course meal prepared by guest chefs Jay Dietershagen (Crossroads Bar & Grille), Sam Epps (Gola Osteria), Fr. Joseph Marcoux (pastor of St. Catherine's), Kyra O'Toole, and Serendipity Catering & Bar. Wine pairings for each course will be chosen by Karl Kernan of Triphammer Wines & Spirits. We are honored to have Jean McPheeters as our emcee for the evening and Sheri Johnson as our guest speaker. Tickets ($120 each) have sold out, but there is a wait list—contact Mary Crosley at crosleym22@gmail.com for more information. If you can help with serving, setup, or cleanup for the event, contact Patricia Sipple at sipplep16@gmail.com. Thank you!
