You are cordially invited to join us for a soiree with Chef Madison (“Madi”) Butler in Tempe on Sunday, August 11.
Chef Madi is the 2019 “Summer by Rail” intern for the Rail Passengers Association of Washington DC. She is on a 50-day journey across the country by Amtrak with a focus on great food reachable by train and public transit. Chef Madi graduated from the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts and is passionate about creating menus that preserve artisanal methods while experimenting with new flavors.
This is a chance for all of us dedicated to rail transit – and light rail! – to meet, rub shoulders and converse. Come join us!
"It is an honor to be recognized by the Rail Passengers Association for my efforts to strengthen and expand America’s passenger rail. Golden spikes were once used by railroads to mark the completion of important rail projects, so I am truly grateful to receive the Golden Spike Award as a way to mark the end of a career that I’ve spent fighting to invest in our country’s rail system. As Chair of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, it has been my priority to bolster funding for Amtrak, increase and expand routes, look to the future by supporting high-speed projects, and improve safety, culminating in $66 billion in new funding in the Bipartisan infrastructure Law."
