Family Owned Restaurant Uses 40th Anniversary Celebration to Raise Funds for Veterans, Others in Need
Cortlandt Colonial Manor Restaurant's 40th Anniversary dinner and celebration raised funds for My Brother Vinny, a non-profit organization dedicated to distributing food, clothing and furniture to US Veterans, outreach groups, shelters and families in need. The Liaskos family, owners of the restaurant, presented a check for more than $6,200 to the charity.
The theme of the celebration was “Past, Present, and Future” and featured popular food selections, historic photos, archived advertisements, and other memorabilia from four decades of operation.
“My Brother Vinny was selected as the benefactor of our 40th Anniversary Celebration because of the noteworthy charitable work they do in our community, especially with their unwavering support of local veterans. We are grateful to celebrate our 40 years of success by presenting My Brother Vinny with a check for more than $6,200," said Evan Liaskos, General Manager and Executive Chef.
