The 2008 Taste of Amsterdam, which benefits the Amsterdam Community Dollars for Scholars, will be held Tuesday, March 25, 2008 from 5:30-9 p.m. at Amsterdam High School.

• There will be a variety of restaurants providing their specialty food items in celebration of the diversity and richness of our community. The cost for adults is $10, students $5, and seniors $9.

• Student talent will be showcased, including visual and performance art, music, and creativity. It will be a wonderful event to connect with neighbors and applaud the talent of our students!

• We encourage everyone to support MasterMinds, Odyssey of the Mind, and Scholarships for our students by making a donation to ACDFS in advance or ask for pledges from businesses and people that you know in the community. No pledge or donation is too small!

• Spread the word and keep Amsterdam pride alive! If you need forms to share with potential sponsors, please call ACDFS at 842-4989. The end of February is the deadline to collect sponsors.

• For information on the next ACDFS Board meeting at CAB, call 842-4989. Please join us with your ideas and energy.
