Ethos Vegan Kitchen eNewsletter: January 2009

January 6, 2009

Happy New Year! The air seems to be buzzing with optimism for the new year - can you feel it? We here at Ethos are optimistic as well! We've now been in business a full year, and jeez, was it a tough first year! We experienced the high of picking up numerous awards and positive press, but also the lows of a major flood and economic downturn.

Regardless, we're looking forward to an easier second year, and to kick it off, we're celebrating our first year in business with a BBQ Birthday Bash! Of course, we wouldn't have made it this far without you! We wouldn't be here without guests that value our unique product. So, this Saturday, January 10th, join us for an all-day barbecue, and keep the celebration going with an evening of live music and $2 dollar keg drafts outside, from 6pm to Midnight. Hope to see you there! »View Event Flyer

Musical Lineup:
6pm: Tia Meer & Friends; 7pm: Jeff Ilgenfritz of Mumpsy; 8pm: Kevin Stever & Alexandra(h); 9pm: Rubox; 10pm: Wheels Above; 11pm: Crutch and the Giant Junshi.

And, if you'd like to give Ethos a birthday gift, please consider telling a friend about us, or writing an online review on us at your favorite online dining guide. Don't have one? We've linked the major ones on our Press Page). We rely on word of mouth to get new guests in the door, and with your help, we can keep reaching new folks who might enjoy our restaurant!

We are pleased to announce the gift certificate winners* for January: Lisa Badeen has won a $25 gift certificate in the new subscriber drawing, and Jennifer Sukiewicz has won a $10 gift certificate in the existing subscriber drawing. Congratulations to both, and thank you to all for your continued support of our establishment. (*Drawing rules are available online.)

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

Sincerely,
Laina & Kelly Shockley
