City of Chelsea, HaborCOV, Chelsea Chamber of Commerce

A

Hello city of Chelsea: this is Carrie Schuman on behalf of Chelsea Community, cable, TV, working on behalf of Paula Bradley Bachelor executive director. The great Ricky valz is the videographer for tonight's event: the 20th annual Taste of Chelsea. We are on marinal street and we have the founder of this outstanding fundraising event: Mr joov, vanad, Mr vad tell us all about the taste of Chelsea and HOV.

B

Absolutely be happy to so 20 years ago, a little over 20 years ago, I had a conversation with the then director lri uh about doing something for the city. She had an idea also, and it morphed into this. We started. uh We were down on um the end of Broadway at the uh um massport building and it was a lot smaller than what it is right now and uh we've been here now for eight years and thank you very, very, very much to the Mahoney family.

B

They we could not do this without them, and all of the people from Havoc Co that volunteer and work, we're just so happy to have them here. So this is our 20th. uh It's the first time we've had to deal with the weather like it is, but of the 24 restaurants who signed up.

B

We have 19 of them here now and we're 12 minutes away from opening the door, so we're looking forward to a a great night, there's a lot of RA nice, Raffles and Silent auctions into some great great food from local Chelsea residents and some of the surrounding towns. So we look forward to seeing you and we're happy. Every dollar of what we raise here goes to habac co. Habac COV is a domestic violence organization that makes hopefully lives safer than they have been in the past.

B

uh We know that domestic violence is a big problem in this world and every day you read more and more about it, but these ladies and guys who work there, work their butts off for uh to make these people safe, and we uh we have raised over a million dollars uh doing this every year and it's thanks to donations from a lot of our um sponsors, but also to people who buy tickets so come on down tickets at the door of $40 love to see you as I said, there's a lot of great food here, so uh hope to see you if you don't make it this year, is always next year.

B

Okay, thank you so much. Thank you.

C

This event will not happen without the venue and the support um that Eastern salt company has been giving habuko for the last more more than 10 years, I would say, and um and the community who keep on coming and um supporting um The, Taste and all of the proceed go to a good cost and all the contribution that you have been um supporting habo, um you are being part of the community solution to end domestic violence, and um the event here today is about um to learn about the cause and consequences of domestic violence in our community.
