Sip, Savor & Screening invites you to indulge in gourmet bites & a movie night

This is “Small Bites,” a South Florida Sun Sentinel feature with tiny tidbits on the food and beverage scene — because we know that sometimes you just don’t have room for a long article. You want a little news brief instead, an amuse bouche of information, if you will. Enjoy!

WHAT:

The FLITE Center’s Sip, Savor & Screening is like a Venn diagram where foodies and film buffs overlap.

The Aug. 20 event will feature a welcome libation, gourmet bites by chef David Bossert of Boss Events & Catering along with a showing on the silver screen of “Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot,” a drama based on the true story of a small community banding together to adopt 77 kids in the foster care system.

The benefit is presented by Seminole Casino Coconut Creek, with all proceeds going to FLITE Center programs and services, which provided resources and support to help young adults transition to independent living. Sip, Savor & Screening is part of the Boca Chamber Festival Days series.

WHEN:

Hours are 6 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 20.

WHERE:

Head to Movies of Delray, 7421 W. Atlantic Ave., Delray Beach.
