Mods, I hope this is ok to put here. This is for a nonprofit where I volunteer.

Eat out on Thursday, September 18th
and you, your family, and your friends can make it possible for deserving kids to own new books.

Visit www.DishUpLiteracy.org (http://www.dishupliteracy.org/) for a list of participating restaurants.
And order that extra dessert...all for the sake of children's literacy!

Thanks for passing this along :)
I've collected books for Page Ahead before, and have a coloured picture from one of the children they gave books to on my fridge. :) He also wrote about how much he loves Captain Underpants, which I happen to relate to. :p They're a pretty awesome org, as far as I can tell.

I'm not sure if I can make it out tonight, but if I can, I will definitely go participate. :)
The Lifelong AIDS Alliance does an event just like this every year that we go to, and I have to say it's one of the easiest, yummiest ways to donate a little dough. :eat:
