As many of you know, our signature Taste of Morristown event has been a cornerstone of our club's fundraising efforts for many years. We are excited to announce that our 23rd annual Taste of Morristown will be held on Monday, March 1, 2027.
I am pleased to share that we have entered into an agreement with The Madison Hotel to serve as the new venue for this year's event.
This outstanding venue will provide us with additional space, allowing us to potentially welcome more participating restaurants while enhancing the overall experience for our guests with expanded amenities. Just as importantly, the move will generate significant cost savings for the club over the next three years. The Madison Hotel has successfully hosted both the Taste of Madison and Taste of Chatham for several years, making it an excellent fit for our event.
A special thank you to Aaron, Will, Merle, and John Lyons and Ray for their guidance, thoughtful advice, and assistance throughout this process. Their support was invaluable in helping us reach this decision.
