Dining Out for Life
April 29, 2008

“The most satisfying meal you will ever eat”

Dining Out for Life is an exciting new fundraiser to benefit persons living with HIV & AIDS. The concept is unique and simple. Area restaurants contribute at least 25% of their business on a particular day to local agencies working on behalf of men, women, and children affected by AIDS. Each restaurant has a volunteer host who will greet customers the day of Dining Out for Life. The host thanks patrons for eating out on that day and explains that the restaurant is generously supporting the AIDS cause.

The following are the founding restaurants:

• Bacchus
• Café in the Square
• Cecelia’s Ristorante
• Chef’s Restaurant
• Fanny’s Restaurant
• Garangelo Café
• Hutch’s
• Ilio DiPaolo’s Restaurant
• Lebro’s Restaurant
• Marinaccio’s Italian Ristorante
• Mr. Bill’s Restaurant & Bar
• Nektar Restaurant & Martini Bar

The proceeds from the event will benefit AIDS Community Services of WNY and AIDS Family Services.

Retreat for People Living with HIV/AIDS
Fall 2008

Our annual weekend retreat for persons living with HIV/AIDS offers participants and presenters alike a time apart from their everyday routine. In the beautiful surroundings of the Stella Niagara Center of Renewal along the Niagara River, participants can take time to reflect, rest, worship, enjoy a massage, or create a “masterpiece” in an art workshop. No matter what they choose to do, they are surrounded by a supportive community of love.
