about

ecoSUAVE 2009 is a green affair for young professionals interested in minimizing their environmental footprint. Together in one setting, guests will have the opportunity to sample delicious wines, beers, and finger foods that have been produced right in our backyard. Attendees will be rest assured that all food and drinks served during the night have been sustainably made with careful consideration to their ecological, social, and financial impacts.

To accompany the food and drinks, guests will be able to enjoy LIVE Jazz music, performed throughout the night. Ben D’Cunha and Irene Torres sing duets and solo pieces from the golden era of the jazz standard. Accompanied by Dave Restivo on piano and Artie Roth on bass, Ben and Irene deliver to the listener songs from a variety of composers, from Gershwin and Cole Porter, to Rogers and Heart.

ecoSUAVE 2009 is created by Enlightened Events in partnership with Local Food Plus (LFP) to raise awareness for healthy local food production. LFP is an award winning non-profit organization that brings farmers and consumers to the table to share in the benefits of environmentally and socially responsible food production.

Acting as MC and host for the night will be Candice Batista.
