A Fundraiser Wine-Tasting Dinner for CISNA a Boy’s Orphanage in El Salvador
On Sunday November 21, the Sunday before Thanksgiving, we are hosting a fine wine five course dinner as a fundraiser to help CISNA a boys orphanage in El Salvador. We are looking to raise several thousand dollars to help these boys.
We’ll start with hors d’oeuvre at 5 p.m. and dinner will begin at 6 p.m.
$75 per person gives you a wonderful evening with a first class meal and excellent wines and a donation to help us help young boys we’ve come to know through mission work in El Salvador.
Join us and let’s start the season of giving thanks and giving together.

CISNA is an orphanage that Greg Lewis of Catering by Design visited on a mission trip to El Salvador. Located in San Salvador it houses about 120 boys.
Greg Lewis visited the orphanage on at least one of his mission trips earlier this year. “When I visited the orphanage, I looked right through those wires into the orphanage. As soon as we went in the kids were so hungry for attention, they were all over us wanting to play. You can’t help but want to do something more for them.”

Orphan Helpers staffs the CISNA orphanage and on their Website they write that CISNA stands for “Complejo de Integración Social para la Niñez y la Adolescencia” (Complex for the Social Integration of Children & Teenagers)
The Church of the Woods offers services to the homeless throughout Wake County with food and support from local churches and communities.
The Raleigh, North Carolina based Church in the Woods has a mission to help the homeless in Raleigh, NC. It was their call to action to Triangle churches years back that led to our participating with Hope Chapel (Apex, NC) in cooking and donating hot food once a month in Moore Square.
For the past five years, on the 4th Saturday of the month, we at Catering by Design, have contributed hot meals that members of Hope Chapel served to homeless men and women in downtown Raleigh.
Back when we became part of it, very few churches were involved, and for years we could see and feel the difference we were making. Through the years since we began participating with Hope Chapel, many more communities have become involved, providing a much wider and stronger base of support.
Over the past year, the community at Hope Chapel began to feel it may be time to turn elsewhere in service work, and so, on the last Saturday in September, we prepared our last hot meal to give to the members of Hope Chapel to serve at Moore Square.
We’re grateful for the chance to have been of service, and especially would like to honor the Church in the Woods for their leadership in this important ministry.
For everything there is a time and a season. We know the immense value of helping others, and hope that all of us, especially as the season of giving approaches, will find ways that we can give back.
Catering by Design is still donating food weekly to the Church in the Woods, food that was not needed at the many events we cater each week.

Greg & the team have always done a great job for us. Our small ideas always turn into fabulously planned menus. Everyone is very professional and super flexible! And of course the food is DELICIOUS!

We’ve had the opportunity to cater a number of golf related events, most recently breakfast, lunch and a fancy dinner for a golf tournament at the 12 Oaks Golf Club for 12 Days at 12 Oaks.
Usually these events are in a club house close to the golf course.
But we also do outdoor catering for golf events. Last year, we were delighted to be chosen to cater the hospitality suites at the SAS Championship. We set up our tent on the grass behind the grandstand, staged all the food and drinks there, and then rode in golf carts, carefully, stopping when the Quiet sign was up, careful about all the visitors, delivering the food and drinks to elegant hospitality suites on the Prestonwood Country Club Golf Course.
You can imagine how pleased we were to find out we were the finalist to cater this year’s championship event on the 10th Anniversary! See our press release about it.
The Town of Holly Spring Annual Banquet was a formal affair with the mayor and town officials.
The Golf Tournament breakfast and lunch were casual, ham and biscuit breakfast and BBQ for lunch. The Tournament Reception was formal.
The Annual Partners’ event was also formal.
For the Open House we provided all the children’s rentals, including face painters.
The Realtor’s Event included a 4 piece Jazz Band which we arranged. Some highlights of the menu were:
The Carving Station with Black Pepper and Coriander Crusted Filet Mignon and Mustard and Rosemary Baked Pork Loin.
Beef Wrapped Portabello with Sesame Ginger Sauce, and Crab Relish on Sun Dried Tomato Croustade
The 12 Oaks Golf Club Member Appreciation Dinner was again formal. Here are some highlights from that menu:
The Hors D’Oeuvres Buffet: Antipasti with Sliced Italian Meats, Marinated and Grilled Vegetables, Imported and Domestic Cheese Tray, Assorted Crackers and Sliced Breads
Pear and Brie filled Mini Pastry Cups
The 12 Day event series was an indoor outdoor event, with many of the events served without kitchens or running water.
