Rutherford LEAP will holds “A Taste of the Derby” at 6 p.m. Friday, April 30 in the courtyard of Five Senses Restaurant, located at 1602 W. Northfield Boulevard in Murfreesboro.
Held on “Derby Eve,” the event will kick off Kentucky Derby weekend in delicious Southern style to benefit students in Rutherford County schools.
Tickets are $75 each. Guests attending “A Taste of the Derby” will sample a tantalizing menu prepared by Five Senses’ Executive Chef Mitchell Murphree.
“The Rutherford LEAP Derby Party is going to be lots of fun. We always enjoy catering events where we can be creative with the theme. A lot of Derby-themed foods are traditional Southern fare, and we are going to put some new spins on these. We will be doing some slow grilling; strawberries and green tomatoes will be in season, and of course, we'll be having great mint juleps!” Murphree said.
Proceeds from “A Taste of the Derby” will fund Rutherford LEAP’s laptop program in a new Rutherford County middle school for the 2010-2011 school year. LEAP’s equipment costs for the 2010 –2011 school year are projected at $99,200, and the group hopes to raise a large portion of that sum through the Derby event.
Rutherford LEAP’s mission is to provide public school students in Rutherford County with the ability to become technologically advanced learners through the consistent, innovative use of a one-to-one laptop program, preparing them to “leap” forward into the future.
