Mid-America Science Museum (MASM) is planning a unique online fundraising event this year as a new way for the community to support science education. Hello Taste, the Museum’s take on the popular meal delivery subscription boxes, will take place on Thursday, Nov. 19th, 7 pm.
The evening will feature a live Zoom cooking class demonstrating how to prepare a pre-packaged boxed meal and will kick off a week-long online auction. Thanks to presenting sponsor, Alliance Rubber Company, Hello Taste will be a culinary experience that museum supporters can enjoy from the comfort of their own homes.
Chef Ozzie Oseguera from Bleu Monkey Grill will conduct the cooking class by preparing his signature dish, Bleu Monkey Shrimp. All ingredients to cook the meals will be delivered in boxes the day before the event, so “guests” can prepare the meals along with Chef Oseguera. Director of Education, Casey Wylie, will provide fun activities demonstrating the science of cooking. Dessert will be provided by Kilwins of downtown Hot Springs and beverages will be provided by Tri-Lakes Liquor.
“While we are not able to gather in large groups at this time, the idea of Hello Taste is to bring the elements of our traditional annual event, Taste of the Holidays, into your homes where you can enjoy food, fun and fellowship with loved ones all while supporting the Museum,” said Diane LaFollette, executive director at MASM.
Community members can order their meal kits for $150 per box; each box contains 2 meals. The online auction will launch that evening and will continue through 9pm, November 25th. Several premium items will be featured. For a preview of the items, please visit the Facebook: Mid-America Science Museum, which will be continually updated with new items.
