Anyone from Kalamazoo, Michigan will hold up his or her hand, and point to the lower left corner, indicating that they’re from the Southwestern part of the state. Michiganians share this special trait of explaining to East Coasters, West Coasters, and Southerners just where exactly they’re from, and it helps for figuring out what’s where in the state.
This city in the lower left corner of the Michigan mitten will be participating in Dining Out for Life on Thursday, April 28, 2011, with proceeds going toward CARES, which is the second-largest HIV/AIDS service provider in the state. CARES’ mission is to minimize further transmission of HIV and to maximize the quality of life for all people affected by HIV. They do this by being a successful social enterprise, building financial strength, and attracting and retaining engaged staff, board, and volunteers. To find out more about CARES, go to.
Participating restaurants will donate anywhere from 25% to 50% of their proceeds from the day to CARES. The 411 Club is the leader of the pack, with a pledge to donate 50% of the day’s profit. The Club is Kalamazoo’s new home for Blues, Zydeco, Jazz, and other American music, and features a full dinner menu from 5pm to 10pm.
Other participating eating establishments include Old Burdick’s Bar & Grill’s Downtown, Wing West, and West locations, Burdick’s Breakfast Express, Bella Sorelle, and more. Find something to tickle your fancy on April 28, 2011.
