City Harvest to Hold Seventh Annual “On Your Plate” Luncheon Featuring Bestselling Author Jill Kargman May 11, 2011

City Harvest will hold its seventh annual “On Your Plate” luncheon on Wednesday, May 11, 2011, at the Metropolitan Club in Manhattan (1 E 60th Street at Fifth Avenue). A reception will take place at 11:30 a.m., and the luncheon and discussion with Jill Kargman, bestselling author of Sometimes I Feel Like a Nut, will begin at noon.

Jill Kargman is a highly acclaimed New York City-based writer whose most recent work, Sometimes I Feel Like a Nut, tackles a variety of issues with sharp wit and laugh-out-loud humor through a collection of essays and observations. In addition to authoring several novels, Ms. Kargman’s work has appeared in many popular magazines, including Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Town & Country, Travel + Leisure, and Elle.

The event will be co-chaired by Joy Ingham and Topsy Taylor. Society columnist and longtime City Harvest supporter David Patrick Columbia is honorary chair.

Tickets to this year’s “On Your Plate” luncheon range from $375 - $1,000 and tables range from $5,000 - $15,000. Last year’s event attracted over 200 guests and raised nearly $200,000 to support City Harvest’s work feeding New York’s hungry.
