What features 12 delicious locations with a truly scrumptious finale? Project Lazarus Bon Appétit on Sept. 9.

This popular progressive dinner has area supporters, this year 12, create different feasts at their homes with the dessert party finale at Generations Hall.

Desserts were donated from places such as Ayu Bakehouse (savory and gluten free bites), Aunt Sally’s Pralines, Palate New Orleans (Hello Dollies), Donna Randazzo, Windowsill Pies (assorted mini pies), Odi’s Moises Delicacies (assorted Lebanese cookies), Chef Jerry Dixon (Espresso Brownies), Boucherie (bread pudding) and Bijou.

Performances by Debbie with a D, Karly Lacour and Rosesha kept spirits high, while guests also perused 87 silent auction items, including a two-night stay at the Ritz Carlton with breakfast, and art by Payton Trim, Stephen Hedgecock and Dianne Georgy.

Event co-chair was Gary Schiro, who has hosted numerous Bon Appétit dinners and been on the event committee for 10 years, nine years as chair.

Interesting Fact: Project Lazarus has served the community for nearly 40 years providing care for people living with HIV/AIDS.
