“How can you live the high life if you do not wear high heels?” - Sonia Rykiel, French fashion designer, 1930-2016

Please join Ypsilanti Meals on Wheels (YMOW) in making our upcoming Spring 2019 fundraiser, Meals on Heels, a success. This year’s event will again draw its inspiration from the glamour and romance of The Great Gatsby, promising a night filled with 1920s style, the flavors of spring, and of course, everyone’s swankiest shoes.

MAY 16TH, 2019 * 5-8 P.M.
Ypsilanti Farmers Markets - 16 SOUTH WASHINGTON ST.

Guests will enjoy a fun, casual yet elegant evening while supporting our mission to feed the homebound elderly and medically fragile of Ypsilanti. Attire for the evening is black and gold or business casual.

Tasty hi-heel sugar cookies from Terry's Bakery
Live music by Eventjazz, led by Rob Crozier
