Edesia is back in 2021!
Necessity truly is the Mother of Invention. Because of the lingering COVID-19 pandemic, and out an abundance of caution, Edesia will scale back this year to a series of dinners in April, ramping up to Oscar Night on the 25th. By doing Chef’s Table Dinners for smaller groups in a separate building, Edesia will be able to provide a more intimate, personalized experience following safe protocols to protect all our guests.
There will be excellent, inspired cuisine prepared by Chefs who will expertly pair their creations with outstanding local wines. Hollywood and local movie industry professionals will entertain you with their work and by sharing intriguing lore of Tinseltown, iconic movies and legendary stars, right up to the Academy Awards.
Because of the popularity of our larger luncheon and afternoon wine and food tasting that make up our usual event, we recognize that we cannot serve all who will want to attend. Therefore, we are going to a bid system that will close by the end of March to determine who attends which dinners.
The bids will be submitted through a live online auction that will be monitored daily by MarillacHealth personnel. If the interest is overwhelming for our April dates, we will schedule additional dinners for November.
Besides the Chef’s Table Dinners, the Online Auction will also feature framable original caricatures of iconic movie stars, movie memorabilia, books, posters, Vacation stays, dinners, wine & gourmet food baskets and many other items to temp you. Those bids will be open until the end of April. Please join in the fun from the privacy of your own home and keep the bidding lively!
Until we can all safely gather for our larger capacity, more extensive Edesia celebration, let’s show our appreciation and support for the wonderful job MarillacHealth does for uninsured and under-insured patients in our community.
Hooray for Hollywood indeed! Let’s have some fun!
