Please join us for a special dinner for a cause. We are honoring the life and memory of Maxine Shelly Turner, a founding member of Virginia Tech’s Rho Chapter of Alpha Omega Epsilon, a sorority for women in engineering fields. Donations to the Maxine Shelly Turner Memorial Scholarship Fund are only accepted in April each year, and a portion of the proceeds from this dinner will go to the scholarship fund.

The Turners are Vienna locals and all are great in the kitchen and on the grill. Maxine loved good food & learning to cook new things. Her palate was inspired by a trip to Spain, where she found incredible tapas. Menu items inspired by Jose Andres’ Jaleo, her absolute favorite restaurant, are the inspiration for our dinner to honor her! Join us for dinner, wine, & live music by Paul Cullen of Bad Company

Menu: Olive & Cheese Plate with Fig Jam & Torta, Setas y Jamon (Sautéed Mushrooms with Caramelized Sweet Onions & Ham), Gambas al Ajillo y Papas (Garlic Shrimp with Roasted Potato), Pollo y Escalivada Catalana (Chicken, Smoky Grilled Peppers, & Eggplant with Sherry Sauce), Chocolate Trio Dessert.

If you are unable to attend “Dine To Make A Difference,” we are collecting donations this month. (Donations are only accepted in the month of APRIL each year.) Checks, made payable to “Alpha Omega Epsilon National Foundation, Inc.” can be delivered or mailed to our office. Please indicate in the memo portion of the check “Maxine Turner Fund via Culinaria” to ensure the money is set aside for the memorial scholarship. Donations must arrive no later than April 29, 2016.
