That is great that our local businesses are stepping up to the "plate".
What about the Cottage? Who got all that "tiff" money?

And by the way, are there any reviews on the Cottage. Really haven't heard much.

I have not been to it yet, but I have heard from friends that have been that is over priced and small portions.

I wrote a piece about the Cottage the night it opened. It won't be a regular stop for us but we will visit once a month or so.

You know what, I have already donated to this cause, and I plan on participating further. If you knew me better, I always play the "devil's advocate" roll. It motivates people, something we need badly in this country.

Ryan, what are the hours for the fundraiser? Is it all day or only evening hours? I'd like to go next Wednesday and would prefer lunch over dinner, but can do either - just need to know. Thanks!

I just took three of my coworkers to Cilantro's today and we LOVED the restaurant! Great food and adorable place, good service too! I hope we did not have to mention the fundraiser, as we all forgot as we were chatting away. Thanks for letting us know about this great opportunity! Keep us Patch readers updated on Josie!

Ryan I also wanted to add one more thing. Thank you for the work you do.. It was great to see you last night at Cilantro's. You truly are the meaning of "Getting the Scoop!" You don't just cover a story you get involved.
