Tomorrow night (April 30th) is the annual DINE OUT FOR LIFE fundraising event!

Last year Dining Out for Life raised over $220,000 thanks to people like you. This year promises to be even bigger and better but we can't do it without your help. Call one of our participating restaurants and make your reservation today. It will be one of the most satisfying meals you ever eat. Be sure to tell everyone you know to eat out on April 30th and thank you for your support.

It’s so easy: Simply dine at one of the participating restaurants on Thursday, April 30, 2009 and 25 percent of your food bill will benefit the HIV prevention programs of the STOP AIDS Project. The participating restaurants list has a real neat online reservation system – so you can be all ready to go in minutes!

I will be the restaurant ambassador at the Hayes Valley eatery Sauce San Francisco (131 Gough Street @ Lily). They have an amazing menu – and a world class wine list. I have a 6pm party crew all lined up with a couple of spots open if anyone would like to join my adorable boyfriend David and I at Sauce.

Please consider going out to your favorite restaurant and making a difference in the community. All restaurants listed are donating 25% of food sales. Some are donating 25% of food AND liquor sales.

And if that isn’t cool ENOUGH - - by contributing at the table to Dining Out… you will be entered into a raffle for FABULOUS prizes!

If you can’t make it out to restaurant tomorrow night – but would like to donate and enter the raffle – you can do so at my fundraising page at Dining Out’s website.

Some of the great prizes for 2009 include:
