Help the homeless while sampling great dishes at this year’s Taste of Georgetown on June 2, 2012!

Georgetown Ministry Center will be kicking off this year’s Help the Homeless campaign with Taste tickets and a VIP lounge for those who register. Escape the heat and the crowds during the Taste when you register to participate in Help the Homeless and receive the following perks:

• VIP Lounge: enjoy your tastes in Georgetown Ministry Center with access to seating, refreshments, restrooms, air conditioning, and WiFi

• 3 Taste Tickets: every registrant will receive 3 Taste tickets, a $15 value!

• Skip the ticket line! We’ll be selling tickets at the regular prices, too.

• a Help the Homeless t-shirt

• the great feeling of doing good and helping those less fortunate in your community

Come kick back in our center with GMC staff and friends. All you need to do is register yourself and as many as you can from your party on the Help the Homeless website. Pick up your Taste tickets on June 2 starting at 10:30 am in Georgetown Ministry Center (map and directions). Early birds will beat the crowds and be first in line for the tastes they want!

If you can’t make it to the Taste, you can still register and be a virtual participant. We will be live tweeting the event (twitter.com/gmcgt), so you can still feel like you’re there!
