Bret Harte Celebrity Waiter Dinner Raises Thousands for Academic Achievement
Angels Camp, CA...Camps restaurant in Angels Camp provided an elegant setting for the second annual Bret Harte High School Celebrity Waiter Dinner in Support of Academic Achievement. The event, held Saturday, September 8th, pitted local "celebrities" in a no-holds barred competition for gratuities and contributions to determine the "Most Appreciated Waiter" for 2012-2013. In the end, Debbie Ponte emerged victorious, collecting more than $1200.00 in tips from the guests at her table. A very close second place finish was shared by David Brady, Bret Harte Spanish teacher, and the team of Holly Whittle and Monica Parker, who garnered over $1000.00 during the evening....

All funds raised from this event provide scholarships and incentives to local students based on academic effort and achievement. Guests were treated to an amazing array of appetizers, a delicious prime rib dinner, a silent auction, raffle, and live music and dancing. Last year’s event raised and disbursed nearly $5000.00 and it looks as if this year’s event will top that figure.
