Chocolate Lovers' Fling Needs Help

The Chocolate Lovers' Fling has become a very popular event in Greater Portland, and is an important fund raiser for Sexual Assault Response Services of Southern Maine.  This year's Chocolate Lovers' Fling is April 7, 2013, and to celebrate the agency's 40th anniversary, it will be a gala completely seated event.  This will require lots of volunteers with restaurant and catering experience.  If you're interested in being part of this great event, contact SARSSM directly -- Information and volunteer forms are available on the website http://www.sarsonline.org/ under Chocolate Lovers' Fling.

(I don't know about tasting, but it's chocolate -- Just sayin'!)  -ATM
