Newton Hospital fundraiser scheduled

NEWTON, N.J. — The Newton Memorial Hospital Foundation’s An Evening of Wine & Roses will be held Thursday Apr. 16 at Legends Resort & Country Club in the McAfee, N.J. Sponsored by RoNetco Supermarkets, An Evening of Wine & Roses is one of Newton Memorial Hospital Foundation’s largest and most well known fundraisers. This year, all proceeds raised from the event will go toward the Single-Room Maternity Enhancement project, an extensive five phase renovation project currently underway to better serve the community’s expectant mothers. Over the last two years, celebrity chefs Lidia Bastianich and Frances Anthony, a.k.a. the Love Chef, greeted attendees in an exclusive VIP setting. Their presence helped complement the culinary theme that guides the event. In coming weeks, the Foundation will announce this year’s celebrity chef as well as new restaurants who will be joining the event for the very first time. As is the case every year, there will be opportunities to win a variety of gift baskets, a fabulous trip for two and even a new car. So save the date, April 16, and call the Newton Memorial Hospital Foundation office at 973-579-8309. The event costs $125 per person. VIP room tickets cost $200 per person or $350 per couple.
