Their efforts were not in Vain! The Food was AMAZING.Rav-Fest-Sponsors

    The meal was served by volunteers from Mt Carmel, high school. We started out with an arugula salad, which included Maureen’s signature pickled Fennel, YUM! I have never eaten fennel and thanks to Maureen, I am now addicted. Then the meats balls and sausage was brought out. All conversation ceased. While we gorged ourselves on those dishes the Raviolis were placed on our table. Every single one was bursting with cheese. I could not have ordered and better meal anywhere in Chicago. Since it was for a good cause everyone was more then willing to eat their fill plus some.

    The event was fun, family oriented, extremely tasty and most of all raised money for a worthy cause. All in all, it was a complete success. We look forward to the 3rd annual Ravioli Fest next year!!

    Corey Schuster Develops Coupon Book to Assist the Hungry

    Save money dining out and help a local food pantry
    By Susan Weich
    St. Louis Post-Dispatch

    Last November, I wrote a column about Corey Schuster, a former Marine living in O’Fallon, who had made it his personal mission to insulate needy children during the holiday season. He took a fresh look at the Marine Corps’ 60-year-old Toys for Tots campaign and came up with an idea to boost local gift giving and stimulate the economy. Every person who dropped off a new, unwrapped toy at one of 11 participating restaurants in the metro area got a $5 gift certificate for an eatery in return.

    Now he’s at it again — this time with an idea to benefit the St. Louis Area Food Bank. He’s put together a cookbook/coupon book of more than 100 local family-owned and operated restaurants. Each restaurant has one page; on the front it the recipe and on the back is its history.

    For their inclusion in the book, the restaurants agreed to offer either a free kids meal or $5 off an adult meal. Starting May 1, consumers can buy the book and its $500 worth of coupons for $15. All of the profits from this project will go directly to the St. Louis Area Food Bank. Schuster’s goal is to get $100,000 in donations to the charity.The books will be sold at enjoyalocal.com, stlfoodbank.org and inside each of the participating restaurants.
