Another Successful Celebrity Waiter Event

News Image

Ocean Restaurant came alive on Monday, April 22, as a host of professionals donned their aprons and served up some wonderful cuisine at the second annual Celebrity Waiter event. During the evening, the patrons were entertained by Winston Helling, Jr., an amazing magician who hails from Louisiana. Winston wowed everyone with his talents and feats of magic. Just prior to dinner, Atlanta's Jake Gulledge delivered a delightful comedy routine mixed with song and accompanied by his fabulous keyboarding skills. Jake was very engaging and the audience really enjoyed his music.

We are so grateful to Foundation friends and supporters, George Reis and Bob Bernstein, for spearheading and so graciously helping to carry out this event for the second year. And we are especially grateful to the staff of Ocean as well as our celebrity waiters:
