Second Harvest
February 14, 2008

Dear Yannick, Chef David & all the staff at Splendido,

On behalf of the board & staff at Second Harvest, thank you so much for the fundraising dinner you hosted for us on January 28. We are very fortunate to have your support and involvement to help us reach our goals. The even raised close to $17,000 which will help Second Harvest deliver enough food for almost 34,000 meals. The hungry people served by our agencies will benefit greatly from your generosity.

In addition to the fundraising, the evening was a wonderful opportunity for us to engage new supporters of Second Harvest, thank some of our major donors and share a spectacular, elegant evening with those who share or vision. We could not have done with without your truly outstanding contribution.
The setting and atmosphere were sophisticated yet welcoming, the service unparalleled and the food and wine, divine. We were most impressed with the way in which the evening flowed so seamlessly, no doubt due to your rigorous attention to detail and guest service. We really appreciated being the beneficiary of this incredible evening, and the guests have nothing but rave reviews about this fabulous dining experience.

I’d also like to offer a special thanks to Yannick, whose impromptu addition of a dinner for four to our Silent Auction ignited the bidding and really helped us to reach our target.
We are so fortunate to count Splendido amongst our supporters and we look forward to working with you again in the future. Please know that your generosity on January 28 has made a real impact, and thank you for sharing our vision that no one ever need to hungry in our community.

Sincerely,

Zoë Cormack Jones
Executive Director
