Meals On Wheels Atlanta Kicks Off A Meal to Remember 2012

The Host Committee and Past Chairs gathered at the St. Regis Hotel Tuesday to kick off planning for this year’s Silver Anniversary of A Meal to Remember.


This year marks the 25th celebration of A Meal to Remember when it returns to Atlanta on Friday, November 2, 2012, at the St. Regis (Presenting Sponsor) to raise money for Meals On Wheels Atlanta (MOWA). MOWA has been delivering daily, nutritious meals to homebound seniors in the metro area since 1970.

This year’s elegant, black-tie, gourmet dinner is being chaired by Cindy Voyles, Harrison Rohr, and Jack Sawyer. In celebration of the Silver Anniversary, the Past Chairs will be the honorees for this year’s event. Past Chairs in attendance at the luncheon included Jeanne Berry (1991), Aida Flamm (1995), Sally Dorsey (1997 & 2001), Sandra Baldwin (2002), Tony Conway (2002), Jane Dean (2003), Dudley Stevens (2005, 2006) Marilyn Krone (2007), Charlene Crusoe-Ingram (2009), Eileen Rosencrants (2010), Harrison Rohr (2011), and Jack Sawyer (2011).

The November gala guest chefs will include Chef Gerry Klaskala from Aria, Pano Karatassos, Jr. from Kyma, and Chef Joe Trevino, Executive Chef at the St. Regis Atlanta. Wine pairings will be selected by Michael Venezia of United Distributors. The event organizers hope to raise more than $500,000 which will provide nearly 77,000 nutritious meals for homebound seniors.

Proceeds generated by “A Meal to Remember” benefit Meals On Wheels Atlanta.
