Kids First and Charles Street Dinner House will honor Jarrod and Courtney Twiss along with Anita and Tim Bryant as Kids First Chefs of the Night. The event is scheduled for Thursday, March 19, beginning at 5 p.m. It ties into a prior auction prize from the Kids’ First June Jubilee.
In Mariposa, a special recognition event is set to take place at Charles Street Dinner House. The organization Kids First, in partnership with the restaurant, plans to celebrate two local couples: Jarrod and Courtney Twiss, and Anita and Tim Bryant. They will be named Kids First Chefs of the Night during the gathering on Thursday, March 19, starting at 5 p.m.
This honor connects to an auction item from the Kids’ First June Jubilee, where participants could bid on the experience of being “Chef for the Night at Charles Street.” The event offers a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes work of a restaurant kitchen, allowing winners to observe how meals are prepared and presented.
As described in the announcement, the occasion invites reflection on the intricacies of restaurant operations: “Have you ever wondered what it would be like to sneak into the kitchen at a wonderful restaurant to see how they pull everything together into what appears on your plate?” The couples' selection highlights community involvement with Kids First, a group focused on supporting local children’s initiatives.
Photographs accompanying the notice feature the honorees, emphasizing the personal nature of the tribute. Details on the full program remain limited, but the event underscores ongoing collaborations between local businesses and nonprofits in Mariposa.
