A dinner party with a purpose
"Changing the world one dinner at a time." That's the tagline used to describe the purpose of Dining For Women.
All you have to do is form a group of diners, set a date and ask everyone to bring a dish. Then, all of the guests donate the amount of money they would have spent if they had gone to a restaurant that night. The money is used to support international grass-roots programs to provide "education, healthcare, vocational training, micro-credit loans and economic development, and through our members’ combined donations, we encourage women to believe they can improve their living situations." The group was founded by Marsha Wallace in Greenville, S.C., and the first dinner party was Jan. 20, 2003. That night, the group raised $750. Now, there is a Cincinnati chapter. For more information, contact Ilene Ross at 513-477-6771.
That's my kinda charity work...
