Bethlehem Rotary Club’s sixth annual Taste & Tunes, an event to benefit the Bethlehem Rotary Foundation and The Foundation for the Bethlehem Area School District, will be held 4:30 – 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 7 at Moravian College Sally Breidegan Miksiewicz Center for Health Sciences in Bethlehem.

Co-chairing the event this year are two former Bethlehem mayors and proud graduates of the Bethlehem Area School District -- Don and Lynn Cunningham, and John and Mafalda Callahan.

“As lifelong Bethlehem residents and advocates, Lynn and I are both grateful for the work of the Rotary Club of Bethlehem and the school district’s foundation,” Don Cunningham said. “Bethlehem Rotary does an outstanding job of supporting important community initiatives, and we are honored to serve as co-chairs with the Callahans for Taste & Tunes.”

The new location will offer guests new experiences on three fun-filled levels. Guests can roam three floors to sample from the area’s best restaurants, participate in a silent auction, and experience different genres of local entertainment, including BASD buskers playing for tips, which will be donated to the Foundation for the BASD.

Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the Bethlehem Rotary Foundation, and proceeds of the silent auction will benefit musical programs and instruments for students in the Bethlehem Area School District.

“We are excited that this year’s proceeds will support a broad spectrum of community needs through its beneficiaries.” said Mark Reed, Bethlehem Rotary president. “The Bethlehem Rotary Foundation will fund grant requests of community non-profits which further advances the mission and good work of the Bethlehem Rotary. The Foundation for the BASD will support programs with an orientation toward music, a foundation of our Tastes & Tunes event.”

In addition to wonderful food samplings, guests will enjoy complimentary wine, craft beer and champagne bar, as well as live local musical entertainment.
