Several Thousand Dollars Raised at Fifth Annual Taste of Malta Event

The Malta Business & Professional
Association recently hosted the fifth annual
Taste of Malta at Hudson Valley Community
College’s TEC-SMART.

The evening featured a variety of Malta area
restaurants who served samples of their best
fare to over 300 people at this year’s event.
During the past three years, proceeds from the
event have been donated to the Ballston Spa
Central School District’s to support educational
enrichment programs and initiatives.

The restaurants participating this year included Lake Ridge, Panza’s, Pasta Pane, Recovery Sports Grill, The Meat House, Bentley’s Tavern, Strata Wine Bar Food, Kona Ice, Mangino’s Ristorante, Lily and the Rose Catering, Sunset Cafe , Villago Village Pizzeria, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, Blu Tea Company, Berrylicious Bouquets, and Pellgrino Importing.

Several thousand dollars were raised from the event for the Ballston Spa Partnership for Innovation in Education Fund, a component fund of the Community Foundation for the Greater Capital Region. The funding will be used to support students enrolled in the Clean Technologies & Sustainable Industries Early College High School, implemented in partnership with Hudson Valley Community College and NYSERDA.
