  Texans pride in a lot of different things such as music, sports and, most importantly, knowing how to fire up the grill. Culinaria recognizes this talent and wants you to witness what some of San Antonio's top chefs can prepare. Each chef will prepare their own grilled specialty that will be sure to say "howdy" to your hunger. Be sure to wear your stretchy pants because remember, in Texas, bigger is better, including the food!

  Jazz at The Get Up Community Center 6/1 6:00PM

   

  Get Up Community Center announces their First Annual “Jazz at The Get Up Community Center” Fundraiser. This event will be held Saturday, June 1 from 6-10pm, and admission is $15. Proceeds benefit the newly opened Senior Activity Center, their ongoing Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts, and Math afterschool and summer programs, and Food Pantry. Guests can enjoy BBQ and jazz music by local bands John Magaldi and Johnny P & The Wise Guys. The Get Up Community Center was formed in 2009 as a summer and after school outreach program for children up to age 12. They also feed more than 350 families per month as a partner with San Antonio Food Bank, including many senior and military service members. BBQ plates including brisket, chicken, beans, coleslaw, or potato salad is available, as well as beer and wine. “It is our responsibility to impact the lives of those who need it most in our community,” explains CEO and Founder Robert Cockfield. Last year the center held a summer program focused on academic mentoring and educational advancement for youth with great success, and will begin this year’s STREAM camp on June 10. Many people within the community rely on the services GUCC provides and events like these help keep them going. This annual fundraiser is also perfectly timed for the grand opening of the Senior Activity Center where adults ages 50 and above can enjoy a hot meal on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 11:30am-1pm. They can also socialize, play games, and get involved in all that is going on at GUCC. Ticket sales are limited and can be purchased online at getupcommunity.org or by contacting the center at (210) 637-0155.
