Who doesn’t enjoy a great meal out, or giving to a good cause? On Wednesdays you can do both by joining Lakeside Restaurant for their Evenings at Lakeside. This marks the 11th season that Lakeside Restaurant has graciously hosted these evenings as a means to support local non-profits.
Recognizing that our area non-profits greatly enhance and contribute to our community, Lakeside sets Wednesday evenings aside for area organizations to join in raising money and awareness for their organizations. Interested groups should contact Lakeside at (828) 526-9419 to select an available date. Lakeside will donate 15 percent of the non-profit’s guest checks that evening to the non-profit. It is up to each organization and their board members to market their evening. It’s also important that when making reservations you mention that you are there to support your chosen non-profit.
Make plans now to come out and support the Highlands Chamber Music Festival on July 11, the Hospice House Foundation of WNC on July 18, MANNA Food Bank on July 25, and the Highlands Food Pantry on August 8. Since inception Lakeside has contributed more than $22,000 dollars to area non-profits, and with the support of our community they hope to make this season one of the most successful yet.
Laure Huerta, the proprietor at Lakeside, believes that it’s “important that we help support the community in which we live and work. We like to focus our efforts on health and human services and in doing so we have seen firsthand how the monies we’ve donated have helped these organizations. The gratitude from others is always appreciated but it’s more about the feeling of doing right by others. It all comes full circle. We are truly blessed to be part of such a wonderful community.”
For more information or to make reservations, please call Lakeside at (828) 526-9419. They are located at 531 Smallwood Avenue in Highlands, and are open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday beginning at 5:30 P.M.
