The 2010 Taste of Baldwinsville, the primary fundraising event for the Baldwinsville Volunteer Center, is scheduled for March 6 at the CNY Family Sports Center on Jones Road.

Taste of Baldwinsville will feature specialties from area restaurants and attendees will have the chance to vote on their favorites. Live and silent auctions will offer valuable products and services donated by local businesses.

“Year after year, the Taste of Baldwinsville has been not only a successful fundraiser but a traditional social event for many area residents,” said Megan O’Donnell, chairperson for the Taste of Baldwinsville. “To pull it all together, however, takes the time, effort and support of all our volunteers, sponsors, restaurants and partners.”

Anyone who would like to volunteer support, donate auction items or be a participating restaurant should contact Nancy Conley of the Volunteer Center at 638-0251.
