The Tampa Interbay Rotary Club held a grand gala event to assist children in need of heart surgery and assistance through Gift of Life. Several hundred attendees sampled wines and foods provided by some of Tampa's top businesses including GrillSmith, Valencia Garden, The Melting Pot, Gio's Italian Grille, Barefoot Wine, Amici's Restaurant, CDB's, Village Health Market and more.

Many auction items helped to generate more funds and included jewelry, vacation home stays, merchandise and lots more. Local celebrity Jack Harris served as Master of Ceremonies.

We have lots of pictures of the event, but special congratulations for a job well done must go to Kevin Franzese, Sherry Perri, the volunteers and the members of the Interbay Rotary Club. AND OF COURSE, to the sponsors and contributors. Taste Events have become quite popular in recent years and this was one of the best we have attended ! Great food from all ! Especially the Fire Shrimp from GrillSmith , yummy !
