Crisis Center, Local Food Vendors Honored at Chamber Holiday Party

Executive Director Brian Ditto can’t count exactly how many times the has hosted the Chamber’s annual holiday party.

Ditto does recall, though, that each year more and more people have had a blast attending the event.

Monday night was no exception, as throngs of community members packed the grill’s party room to not only enjoy plenty of food and beverages, but also to honor the winners from the “.”

“This is what the chamber is all about,” Ditto said. “To have the chance to interact and to casually do business with one another. It’s also a good chance to reflect on the things we’ve accomplished in 2011 and point us toward some goals in 2012.”

While the chamber recognized the three food vendors who took home judges’ awards at Taste of the Town, the true winner was the Reisterstown , which received a check for $2,000, all raised from the October event.

Through Taste of the Town, the Chamber and the crisis center have united to help community members in need for the past three years.

“To sum it all up, I can’t think of a better match made in heaven than the partnership between the ROMG Chamber of Commerce and the Community Crisis Center,” said Deborah Goff, the executive director at the crisis center.

The award winning food vendors were Iced Gems (best dessert), The Grill at the Harryman House (best fine dining) and Gourmet Girls (best casual dining).
