Lunch Club To Benefit Schools

Church Street Cafe To Support Schools

MONTCLAIR, NEW JERSEY (January 26, 2006) — It was announced today that Church Street Café has established a PTA Lunch Club and will be donating a portion of their weekday lunch sales over the next four months to local PTA organizations.  After dining, restaurant patrons can sign the Lunch Club book and register the receipt for the amount that has been spent in support of their favorite school.  In the beginning of June the results will be tallied up and the Café will forward a check to each participating school’s PTA.

The PTA Lunch Club was the brainchild of Church Street Café owner Cheryl Spinelli who stated, “Since opening our restaurant a year and a half ago, I haven’t had the time to do some of the things I was able to do for the school district when I was an at-home mom.  Having two boys in the district and being committed to public education, it is difficult to sit back and not help the way I was able to in the past, especially after eleven years of various volunteer activities, including five years as PTA president.  After some thought, however, I was able to come up with a way that I could make a contribution through the restaurant.” 

Spinelli continued, “The idea actually occurred to me when I was thinking about the Dine Out For Grads program which we are participating in again on February 8.  That is a very successful fundraiser for Montclair High and I am hoping that the PTA Lunch Club will be a great way to spread it around to all of the schools in the area.  It’s really a no-brainer for the schools, as they don't have to do anything but let their constituents know about the program.”

Church Street Café is open seven days weekly for Dinner, Lunch, Breakfast and Weekend Brunch.  The kitchen opens at

8:00 a.m.

and never closes before

10:00 p.m.

(

11:00

Friday & Saturday).  Live music is featured Wednesday through Sunday evenings.

Church Street Café is located at

CRESCENT DECK IS OPEN!!!

Welcome Back to Downtown Montclair

The long awaited opening of the Crescent Deck, located between South Park and South Fullerton off Bloomfield Ave., has finally happened.  At 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 19, 2005, the first cars rolled through the gate, while staff handed entry tickets to drivers.  The first four hours will be free through the end of the year, which should encourage holiday shoppers and diners to spend as much time as they like visiting the local businesses.  The area was hard hit for nearly a year while people avoided coming to the area because of the removal of the Crescent Lot, which accommodated about 170 cars at capacity.   The lot is staffed 24 hours a day, is brightly lit and will hold over 400 vehicles.   Now, with the best parking facility in the area, the Downtown Business District is looking forward to a booming holiday season.   Start your engines!!!!

Artfull Living Continues

Artfull Living Debuts in Downtown Business District!

Artfull Living , the downtown walking tour featuring local artists matched with downtown venues, kicked off on Thursday, September 29^th.  Beginning at the Church Street Café, art lovers were treated to a walking tour, led by Mayor Remsen and Deputy Mayor Michaelson.  Receptions took place for the various artists along the tour route, which covered Bloomfield Ave., South Fullerton Ave., Glenridge Ave., South Park Street and Church Street.    Art lovers viewed juried works by local artists and were able to meet the featured artist at each receptions site.  The gala evening was organized by the Restaurant & Retail Committee of the BID.

Art enthusiasts are encouraged to continue to participate in this ongoing event by taking the free, self-guided tour to each location, which will house each artist’s work for at least two months.  When asked about the evening, Cheryl Spinelli said "We thought the event went very well and look forward to the program’s continued growth.  The longterm goal is for there to be a continuous supply of rotating art which will remain year-round  in various locations in the downtown business district so that we can emphasize our unique Art Industry and create a stronger atmosphere of support for our fine league of talent, while bringing art into our every day lives".   

 

For more information regarding self guided tours, maps are available at Church Street Café, 12 Church Street, near the corner of South Fullerton.
