AN EVENING OF FOOD, FRIENDS, AND FUN……. AT THE CABOT!

Thank you to everyone who turned out to celebrate with us at the Cabot! We had so much fun enjoying delicious food prepared by Root alumni, fresh music from Three Second Chances, magic with Anton the Magician, and hearing the powerful stories from some of our graduates, and we are grateful to Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll for joining us to present the Root Community Leadership Award to Robyn Burns of The Salem Pantry. 

There was tremendous energy in the crowd last night! Congratulations to our live auction winners, and thank you to everyone who raised their paddle to support Root! There is still time to participate in the online auction to benefit Root’s Culinary Training, Alumni Employment, and Community Catering Programs.

For information on getting involved at Root, contact Faith Emerson at femerson@rootns.org or 978-616-7615x106.

There is something for everyone in the online auction - from cooking classes and dinners to uniquely North Shore items and experiences. Get a group together for a cooking class in the Root kitchen with Root Alum David Rybicki and learn how to make hand-pulled noodles; bring the magical light of favorite North Shore landscapes into your home with one of four original paintings by Carol Lavoie Schuster of First Light Studio Art, grab a spot in a baking class in the Root kitchen with Jackie King of A&J King Artisan Bakers; bid on a chance to host your friends for a “Chef's table” at Root: Dinner for 10 in the Root kitchen, featuring cooking demos and a curated wine pairing from Lighthouse Liquors, and so much more!
