MONTICELLO, NY, – “Come to the Table 2010” (CTTT) is set for Saturday, October 2 at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts Event Gallery. 

The event is the major fundraiser for the Dispute Resolution Center (DRC) of Sullivan and Orange County. CTTT will showcase the talent of talent of local decorators and designers as they create original table settings to be auctioned off through silent bid. This year’s event co-chairs are Jacy Ricciani and Robert S. Green.

During the day on Saturday, from 1:00 to 3:00 pm, DRC extends a free invitation to the public to come out and view the tables on display. Along with a wine tasting courtesy of Bashakill Winery, there will be other frees samples and surprises. Attendees will also be treated to a special visit with the “Kings in the Kitchen.”

The Evening Gala promises to be extraordinary as ticketholders mingle among the table designs while bidding to take home their favorite. The night of fun and fundraising will feature sumptuous hors d’oeuvres, wine and beer, and musical entertainment. Tables will be judged by a select panel of judges with award presentations at the evening’s conclusion, when winning bidders will be able to take their treasures home.

Sponsors this year include Catskill Hudson Bank, Frontier Communications and Orange & Rockland.

The CTTT event exists to raise funds for the agency, but more importantly, to raise awareness of DRC within the community. DRC is a nonprofit agency providing low- or no-cost mediation and related services. Private or business participation and support, at any level, will help DRC reach the important and vital goal: to continue its mission to “promote the peaceful resolution of conflict . . .” For more information, contact Kathy Kreiter at 794-3377, or Donna Ramlow at 294-8082.
