To The Editor:

Thanks to the generosity of the Princeton Community, the Alchemist & Barrister (A&B) can point to another successful St. Patrick’s Day celebration and fund-raiser.

Our annual St. Patrick’s Day Party and LongBeard benefit raised $2000 for our new charity, The Mercer Street Friends Food Bank. We are very proud to assist in this exceptionally worthy effort to fight hunger in Mercer County. Our fundraising efforts focus on the food bank’s Send Hunger Packing program that provides nutritious food for school children on weekends and holidays.

Throughout 2014, the A&B will celebrate 40 years in business and community commitment. We are very grateful to all who participated in making this year’s St. Patrick’s Day celebration so successful: our LongBeard contestants, guest bartenders, staff, and patrons.
