Dine Out For Kids 2014


Looking to do something for local kids this week? Head out to breakfast, lunch or dinner on Tuesday at one of the participating Dine Out For Kids restaurants. The restaurants will donate a portion of their proceeds to Communities in Schools. CIS supports many local children, in many local schools, and this is an easy and fun way to support them. Hope you'll join me in "dining out for kids" on Tuesday! Make it a great week!

Blessings,
