                  Press Release

Magnum Hospitality's First Annual "Missy" Memorial Scholarship Fund-raiser
                                          Contacts Mary Palmer, Jim Cartwright.

Missy Kamyszek was a valued manager at Red Mesa Grille in Boyne City, Michigan, whose life was tragically cut short last summer.  Scholarships will be awarded annually in her honor to area students enrolled in the N.M.C. Culinary program.  Recipients will be culinary students who, like Missy, demonstrate a commitment to the spirit of "Hospitality".

On June 21, 2005 all four Magnum Hospitality restaurants will host fundraising events.  Help us support future hospitality students in Northern Michigan.  Magnum Hospitality's
goal is to raise in excess of  $10,000 to permanently endow the scholarship fund.

Events at the Red Mesa Grill in Boyne City and Traverse City, Pearl's New Orleans Kitchen in Elk Rapids and The Fish in Harbor Springs will include:

Live entertainment at all locations.

Missy's favorite food and drink features.

Opportunities for Tequila tasting at Red Mesa Grill, Wine tasting at The Fish and Bourbon tasting at Pearl's.

Silent auctions at each location featuring a Chef's dinner for six people to be catered by Chef/Owner Mary Palmer along with the Chef of each restaurant.

                Those wishing to participate may do so in three ways.

Simply dine at any Magnum Hospitality restaurant on Tuesday June 21.
On that day 50% of all sales company-wide will be donated to the scholarship fund.

Participate in the Silent Auction to be held at each location. 100% of the winning bids will be donated to the scholarship fund and will be tax deductible.
