The 6th Annual Chefs Soirée was held on Friday, September 30, 2011 at St. Mary’s Health System’s Nutrition Center of Maine. The guests sampled cheeses from Balfour Farm in Pittsfield and dined on Lobster Ravioli and Mediterranean Chicken prepared by Chefs Paul Landry and David Moyse of Fish Bones American Grill. Chefs Dan Caron made and Katie Ligouri of the Green Ladle created a Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Torte.
While enjoying each of three courses, the guests watched interactive cooking demonstrations, a hallmark of the evening’s events. Fish Bones and the Green Ladle chefs, both of Lewiston, brought a high level of enthusiasm and excitement to the night.
Proceeds from the Soriée will support the Nutrition Center and its programming. The event grossed in excess of $20,000. Based on the belief that good health relies upon access to healthy food, the Nutrition Center is a true ‘community center.’ It is home to the St. Mary’s Food Pantry, Community Cooking Education Programs, the Somali Nutrition Education Initiative and Lots to Gardens. For more information on the Nutrition Center and its programming contact: 207-513-3848.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Royal Oak Room’s resident chef Scott Johnson prepared hors d’oeuvres of poached lobster cheesecake and a savory mushroom strudel. The dinner started with a baby arugula salad and was followed by a choice of seared strip beef loin with rosemary red wine reduction and cod encrusted in flaky phyllo or a vegetarian meal of crispy trio squash with eggplant and rosemary.
The nine-piece Bob Charest Band brought the audience to their feet, playing tunes from throughout the last 75 years. A live auction brought the highest net revenue for a live fundraising auction for St. Mary’s since 1997! A cruise on Casco Bay, a getaway to Abaco in the Bahamas, and the ever popular Fish Bones American Grill participation dinner were some of the most sought after items.
St. Mary’s board member Mark Anthoine and his wife Deb served as the event’s champions and were pleased to announce that this event was a huge success, raising over $50,000! The net proceeds will benefit St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center’s Operating Room instrumentation and equipment needs. St. Mary’s opened six brand new surgical suites early this year.

2010 was another very successful year for St. Mary’s fundraising efforts. With the amazing help of donors, businesses, and foundations we raised over $1,250,000 in support of projects, programs, and capital improvements.
In order to thank you all for your help and to continue to show you how much we appreciate your generosity we will provide increased opportunities to visit with you. We will offer tours of St. Mary’s facilities, invite you to breakfast, and host an open house at the Development Office. We would also welcome an invitation to visit with you to say ‘thank s’ and to come and share our many successes.
In January we engaged John Donovan of J Donovan Associates to work with us over the course of the year in the creation and implementation of a Planned Giving Program. J Donovan Associates is not new to St. Mary’s. They helped us in 2008 to create and implement the very successful With All Our Hearts Capital Campaign. We are excited to have his expertise on board as we begin this very important work. Educational sessions on this topic will be offered; stay tuned!
So…once again…thank you, thank you, thank you. Here’s to a great 2011!!
If you’re looking for a way to further the work St. Mary’s does for our community, there’s a way for everyone to help out. From volunteering at the hospital to collecting food for St. Mary’s Food Pantry or offering financial support, you can make a positive difference in our community.
