Hello Dining Out For Life Friends and Family!

As we get closer and closer to April 29th, many of you have asked how you can help promote and publicize Dining Out For Life. One simple way is to suggest DO4L to your friends on Facebook! It's effective. It’s easy. Here is how to do it:

• Go to the Dining Out For Life Page www.facebook.com/DineOut4Life

• On the column at the left side you will see the following:

• Suggest To My Friends <<< --- click on that.

• You then can click on your friends (sadly it has to be done one-by-one, so it can take a few minutes)... You can also opt to right a personal message, endorsing Dining Out For Life and our mission to battle HIV/AIDS, or and then send them all a mass message.

Your friends will then opt to join our fan page! This is immensely important, as their friends will see it, and so-on, and so-on, and so-on…It will increase our reach and all our fans!

With your help, we can make this year's event even more successful then last year!

For those of you living in the Washington DC area - remember, YOUR Dining Out For Life event is Thursday, March 11! And Canadians in Okanagan Region, you will be Dining OUt on March 25th!

And if you use Twitter, don't forget to follow us @DineOut4Life!

Thank you so much for your support - and with all of us working together, we can make a huge difference in the fight against HIV/AIDS!

Gearing up for DOFL 2010

I dunno about you but we're stoked about Dining Out For Life, 2010. I'm pretty sure this will be the most successful year to date. We've got TONS of restaurants lined up in tons of cities across North America and I'm sure plenty of you folks out there are looking for a good way to celebrate the end of this extra-snowy Winter!

Time to get your DOFL on!

First up on our DOFL schedule is Washington DC, holding their event on March 11th. The local organization, Food & Friends, is hosting DOFL in our nation's fair capitol. Check out their RESTAURANT LIST and make your reservations! Looks like some great eats are being offered up. Get your pals together and shake off those pesky Winter blues with a great meal! And as a special incentive, a portion of your purchases goes towards HIV/AIDS research. Most restaurants are donating 25% (which is so generous!) and others are going above and beyond, raising their donation percentage to 35%, 50%, or in a few cases, 100-110%!!! WOW WOW WOW!

Then, on March 25th, we have Canada's Okanagan Region joining the fun! Their event is hosted by theLiving Positive Resource Center, who deliver support services to persons living with HIV/AIDS. Nice! You can check out their list of participating restaurants here. Again, most are doing the generous donation of 25%, but some of them are also doing 50%-75%! WOW! And as always, every bit helps, even if any restaurant in any location was doing 10%, it'd make a difference. And that's what DOFL is all about! Making a difference in a fun and easy (and delicious!) way! Get your friends together, get your families together and celebrate the beginning of Spring! Celebrate life and making positive changes! It was never so easy or so tasty. :)
