As a special treat during the cocktail hour, students from the prestigious New Jersey Restaurant Educational Foundation ProStart Program will serve special hors d’oeuvres that they have created just for the occasion. Also, NJRHA’s holiday ball will feature a fabulous silent auction with proceeds supporting New Jersey Restaurant Educational Foundation ProStart Program, which ignites the future workforce of the industry.
