Good Food (and a Story) for a Good Cause

Submitted by Chelsea on August 3, 2010 - 12:30pm

On August 20th I'll be participating in a great event called Dinner at My House for Our House. It's a benefit for Our House, a Portland nonprofit which provides healthcare, housing, and other vital services to low-income people living with HIV/AIDS. For $75, you get a tantalizing dinner in a fascinating setting, and I'll be on hand with a special story written just for the occasion. For details, click here.
