Happy Hour Fundraiser for Victims of Hurricane Sandy

As we enter the holiday season, we have much to be thankful for. Our incredible Slow Food community turned out in great numbers for the Snail of Approval Awards, and for that we are very thankful. The days that followed showed us the brute force of mother nature, and although we fared relatively well here in DC, our neighbors to the North felt the full effects of Sandy's wind, rain, and storm surge.With that in mind, we've decided to hold a happy hour fundraiser for those affected by Sandy. The happy hour will be held at Snail of Approval Winner Dino in Cleveland Park. 25 % of the proceeds will be donated to Sandy relief, with opportunities to donate directly to the New Jersey Relief Fund and New York’s City Harvest.Date: Thursday November 15, 2012Time: 5:30pm-7:00pmLocation: Dino3435 Connecticut Ave NW (Cleveland Park Metro)Happy Hour at the Bar (We hope to have a sign, but just ask on arrival)Wine & Cocktail specials for $5Beer Specials for $4$3 off antipasti with your beveragescomplementary olives, pickles & a daily treatCharities:New York’s City HarvestCity Harvest is working hard to get food to those in need in the wake of Hurricane Sandy as well as continuing our work rescuing and delivering food in all five boroughs.
