The Event

DATS MashUp consists of three parts:

The run-up, the presentation to a live audience, and the afterward.

Run-up    
Happening now! Read about the participants and their involvement.

Presentation     
2:30-4 pm, Saturday, October 9, 2010, Milton Rhodes Center for the Arts, Sawtooth Building in downtown Winston-Salem.

Afterward      
This blog will follow the participants some time afterward because for them, their lives and challenges continue when the event is over, for good or bad, and for whatever excitement and interest might be generated by it.

We hope you will appreciate the earnestness and talents of our local refugees, and understand they are eager to participate in the greater Piedmont community except for lack of opportunities to demonstrate their abilities, connect to mainstream Americans, and overcome cultural and language isolation. Contact me if you wish to know more about how you help.

We hope you will remember the businesses and chef/owners who agreed to help and mention DATS MashUp when you dine at their restaurants. Remember that your recommendation to a friend or associate is a powerful influence that can maintain Triad restaurants committed to local and seasonal food.
