PRESS RELEASE
Taste of Arabia is a festival for your taste buds. It is an event where students, staff, parents, community residents, and local businesses come together to celebrate the Arabia Mountain High School (AMHS) community. This festival has something for the entire Arabia Mountain community to enjoy! Highlights of the event include tastings of delicious food selections from terrific local restaurants and chefs, a Silent Auction, and one-of-a-kind visual art designs by AMHS student artists. The Silent Auction will feature a vast array of gifts, products, and services sponsored by AMHS Booster Clubs and Sports Teams, the Art Department, and donated items from local businesses – all of which will be available to purchase by bidding. Proceeds from the event will benefit the AMHS Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA), participating Booster Clubs and Sports Teams, as well as the Art Department.
Food will be donated by a variety of great restaurants and all of the Silent Auction items will be donated as well, which means that the event will generate 100% profit for the AMHS PTSA, Art Dept., and participating Booster Clubs and Sports Teams. However, the greatest benefit of Taste of Arabia is that it is a community event that brings together students, teachers, parents, community residents, and the business community for a common goal which is to strengthen community ties.
The 1st Annual Taste of Arabia will be held on Saturday, November 5, 2011 at Arabia Mountain High School located at 6610 Browns Mills Road, Lithonia, Georgia 30038. Doors will open at 3:00 pm. Tastings will take place in the AMHS Commons Area from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. The Silent Auction will be held during the same time in the lower level gymnasium; with one auction at 5:00 p.m. and the final auction at 7:00 p.m. Guests can enjoy visiting with others in the community, tasting culinary treats, and shopping for items and services to support AMHS student activities!
Each prepaid $10 ticket entitles a guest to 5-10 tastings. A tasting will consist of a sampling of the restaurant’s cuisine. It does not constitute a meal. Tickets can be purchased from participating AMHS Booster Clubs and Sports Teams members, AMHS Art students, or from the AMHS PTSA at the school’s front office.
Parking is available at the school. A limited number of tickets will be sold at the door for $12. Supplemental tickets at the event will be sold at a rate of $6 for 5 tickets. Come Early! This event is sure to sell out fast!
