Ethos Vegan Kitchen eNewsletter: June 2008

June 3, 2008

We are pleased to announce a new monthly event: Ethos Freeycle! The first Saturday of each month we will hold a freecycle exchange on the patio from 2-6pm. As space is limited, each month we will select a different item theme. If you are unfamiliar with the freecycle concept, it is simply an exchange of unwanted items, sort of like a flea market where everything's free.

Due to lack of storage space, freecycle items will not be accepted before the event, or held for pickup after the event. All items must be freely exchanged, not bought or sold. Any items remaining at the end of the event will be removed via donation to a local charity.

Please join us for our first Freecycle Saturday, June 7th, 2-6pm; the theme will be Books & Music. »View Event Flyer We hope you will be able to participate!

And, drumroll please... the gift certificate winners for the month of June: Sigfrido Hernandez II has won the new subscriber drawing, and Angela Sikkenga has won the existing subscriber drawing. Congratulations to both, and thank you to everybody for your continued support of our establishment.

Thank you for your interest, and we look forward to seeing you at the restaurant!

Sincerely,
Laina & Kelly Shockley
Owners, Ethos Vegan Kitchen, Inc.
