Restaurant Owners/Managers - APRON 1/28 Dine Around

by Marsha L. » Thu Dec 12, 2013 6:01 pm

Dear Restaurant Owner/Manager -

On 1/28 APRON, Inc (our local emergency relief fund for independent food service workers in the Metro Area) will hold a dine-around. If you sign your restaurant up, we will include you in our promotional materials and try to send as many diners as possible your way that Tuesday night next January. All you have to do is pledge to give APRON a portion of your proceeds from the evening, or just write us a check in any amount you see fit.

For more information, please visit our website at aproninc.org or our Facebook page

We know you are limited on how many charity events you can help underwrite. Let this be the one - we help out your employees when they are in financial distress.

Questions? Ask them here!

Marsha,
I don't see any info about this event yet on the website or Facebook. Are you looking for a certain percentage? Or just whatever we can afford to do?

Ned, yes - by "more information" I just meant more information about the organization in general. We'd love to have any restaurant participate; some give a percentage of proceeds and others just write a check in any amount they see fit. We're not fussy. In return, we'll include you in our promotional materials, bring you some reminder cards and posters to distribute to/post for your patrons, and steer as much business as we can your way on that Tuesday in January!

If you guys are in, let me know - we're printing the cards and posters next week! :)

Steve-O's Italian Kitchen in Buckner is in the mix now, too, for those of you who are closer to the east end of things. Thanks very much to Steve-O's!

Wild Ginger has joined the roster! We're just waiting on a few more "maybes" - the whole list will be finalized and published on Thursday 1/2. I'll make a new thread after we go to press with our promotional materials.
