Welcome to Best Chef 2014!

With your HostNorth Shore Music Theatre’s
Karen Nascembeni
To Our Guests,
On behalf of the entire Beverly Bootstraps organization, we thank each of you for joining us this evening, which is sure to be enjoyable and delicious.
As the Best Chef Competition fires up, it is essential to recognize the reason we all have come out tonight and the work of Beverly Bootstraps. We rely on the generosity of our community so that we may provide critical resources to families and individuals so they may achieve self-sufficiency. Through our Food Assistance, Youth and Family, Adult Education and Client Support programs, we offer emergency and long-term assistance to those in need.
We would like to extend a special thank you to all of our supporters and those that have helped make this night possible.
We encourage you to peruse and sample the food delights from the many Taste of the North Shore vendors or simply sit back, relax and enjoy the entertainment ahead!
Bon Appetit!
Bradley Hunt Sue GabrielPresident of the Board Executive Director
