Project Dinner Table! At Tulle Springs Soon!

Project Dinner Table to Host Final Event of the Season on Sunday November 14 at Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs. Since Inaugural Dinner in April, Project Dinner Table’s Local Charitable Donations Will Reach $20,000

Project Dinner Table will host its seventh and final dinner of the season on Sunday, Nov. 14 at Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs.  Chef de Cuisine Roy Ellamar of Sensi at Bellagio will prepare the much-anticipated six course dinner.  The event begins at 2 p.m.  Only 130 seats are available at the event’s signature continuous long clothed-draped dinner table.

Project Dinner Table is the wildly popular community dinner series founded by self-proclaimed spoonbender, Gina Gavan.  What makes Project Dinner Table so special is the delicious sense of community each event brings.  Every dinner is hosted in a unique location, unavailable typically to the public for dinner with each location selected based on its ability to host the event’s signature long, white dinner table seating more than 100 guests and serving dishes family style.  Local chefs work with local growers and purveyors to not only create a one-night-only menu, but also to educate Las Vegans on all that is available while feasting on an organic dinner.

Like all Project Dinner Table events, a percentage of the proceeds will go to charity.  The November dinner will benefit Teach for America, a non-profit organization that strives to eliminate educational inequity by enlisting our nation’s most promising future leaders in the effort.  To date, since Project Dinner Table launched in April 2010, and come November 14 $20,000 will have been distributed to a total of nine local charities including; Junior Achievement, Natural History Museum, Community Counseling Center of Southern Nevada, Nevada Cancer Institute, Vegas Valley Children’s Book Festival supporting Children’s Literacy, Nevada School of the Arts, Gilcrease Orchard, HELP of Southern Nevada and the final donation will support Teach for America.

Every single dinner to date has sold out.

“We cannot believe how quickly this season has whisked past us,” muses Gavan.  “Chef Ellamar was our first chef at our launch in April so it’s wonderful to come full circle with him preparing our final dinner of the season.  Additionally, when we hosted that first dinner at University of Reno Cooperative Extension Orchard, we were pleasantly surprised not only that we sold out, but how quickly the community just seemed to get what we were doing.  We’ve created an event specifically for locals and the community where good food, company and conversation were treasured.”

Locations from the past season included April (University of Reno Cooperative Extension Orchard); May (Natural History Museum); June (Cashman Center); August (El Cortez Walkway), Sept. (the historic Fifth Street school) and Oct. (Gilcrease Orchard).

Project Dinner Table’s 2011 season will begin in April.  Numerous local and national celebrity chefs are slated for next year’s dinners.

Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs is located at 9200 Tule Spring Rd.  With its wildlife, lush vegetation, lakes and views of the sheep and Spring Mountain ranges, Floyd Lamb is a natural park unique to the typical Las Vegas urban experience.  The historic Tule Springs Ranch is tucked inside the park and provides opportunities for visitors to learn about the traditional working ranch and early Las Vegas lifestyle.

Project Dinner Table’s 2010 season is sponsored by Nevada Beverage Company Las Vegas, Whole Foods, Bacardi and Vegas Valley Book Festival.  Local partners and purveyors include; Renaissance Catering, Quail Hollow Farm, Bar 10 Beef, Bon Breads, Hy-Desert Tomato, Riverbend Farm, Harney Sons & Tea, Colorado River Coffee Roaster, China Ranch Dates, Gilcrease Orchard, and UNCE Orchard.

Tickets are $125 per person and include dinner, entertainment, gift bags, philanthropy as well as all cocktails and coffee.
