"It's so hard ... to say goodbye ... to yesterday ... ayyyyy."
That lyric from the classic Boyz II Men song played in my head when I read the press release from Pewter Rose Bistro, announcing its Farewell Party to benefit its displaced employees after closing Jan. 20 and to help cover the unexpected damage costs after structure and equipment problems.
The food, wine and silent auction will take place Feb. 10 at Bonterra Restaurant (1829 Cleveland Ave.) at 7 p.m. Wine selections are courtesy of Saintsbury, Bouchaine, and Solena vineyards.
"As we begin to mend our hearts from the loss of this family gem, our only desire is to give back to those who have been so loyal to The Pewter Rose over the years. The event will establish a 'trust fund' of sorts to help our faithful employees as they begin to find new work in this difficult economy," said Pewter Rose owner Susie Peck in a press release.
