A Taste For Life 2009

If you haven't already done so, book a dinner on April 29th to help out your local HIV/AIDS charity through A Taste For Life.

The concept is very simple. Go out to dinner on April 29th at a participating restaurant, and 25% of your bill will be donated to the local charity recipient. To find out if your city is participating, please visit this link.

If you can't make it out on the 29th, you can still contribute and help people living with HIV/AIDS since your support is needed all year round.

All Ottawa proceeds go to Bruce House and the Snowy Owl AIDS Foundation. You can make a donation here (search words "Bruce House").

I've made my reservations for Wednesday...looking forward to a good meal to help out a good cause.
