A Taste of Caribe..you're invited! + Half-Way Update
It's a Fiesta!
We *just* launched the event page today for a fun event coming up on June 7th. It's part restaurant pop-up, part fund raiser, part art show.
Whether you've already pledged, or are still thinking about it, or want to show a friend why they should pledge, we'd love to meet you in person & let you taste our food! Food samples are free & there will be a cash bar featuring piña coladas! We will have our ipad set up for people to pledge on the spot, if they wish.
