Sixth Annual Tasting Benefits Connecticut Residents With MS

Greater Hartford's finest restaurants will partner with the National MS Society, Connecticut Chapter, for the sixth annual Greater Hartford MS Taste of Hope on Thursday, Feb. 23, at The Society Room in Hartford. The wine, spirits and gourmet food tasting will benefit the more than 6,000 Connecticut residents living with multiple sclerosis.

More than 200 guests attended last year's event at The Society Room to raise more than $16,000 for the National MS Society, Connecticut Chapter. Roughly two dozen Hartford-area restaurants and beverage vendors participated. The 2012 MS Taste of Hope features honorary chair Renee DiNino, The River 105.9 FM, who will perform with Cyndi Simms in their group Mermaid Martini.

"The 2011 tasting was spectacular and we're excited to make 2012 even better," said Nicole Marohn, event coordinator. "The Society Room provides a beautiful setting. This is a great opportunity for people to sample local cuisine and beverages and spend time with their friends and co-workers while fundraising for a very worthy cause."

The Greater Hartford MS Taste of Hope takes place Thursday, Feb. 23, at The Society Room in Hartford. Tickets purchased in quantities of four or more are just $50 per person but must be purchased by contacting event coordinator Nicole Marohn, at 860-913-2550, ext. 52544.
