Amateur chefs throughout Putnam County soon will gather in Brewster for the 11th annual Men Who Cook dinner that will benefit the American Red Cross in Greater New York (ARC/ GNY) - Putnam/West Point and the Patterson Rotary, and these two prominent organizations will honor two local leaders who have made significant contributions to the county.
Community and business leaders will display their culinary prowess on April 21 at the Starr Ridge Road Banquet Hall (Sheet Metal Workers' Local Union 38 headquarters building) on Starr Ridge Road in Brewster, Saturday, April 21, at 7pm. The Patterson Rotary will honor Dr. Marilyn Terranova, superintendent of the Carmel Central School District, with the Service Before Self Award.
