Have you heard? The results are in on the Orlando Sentinel's Best Bets Orlando 2009, and we are thrilled to have won "Best Vegetarian Restaurant" and placed as a finalist for "Best Sunday Brunch"!

December Freecycle 12/5 Is it just me, or has 2009 sailed by a little more briskly than normal? The weather is cooling nicely, better late than never, and along with colder weather, holiday joy and madness will soon begin descending upon us all.

Next week, we'll send out our annual Holiday Guide, which will include information on Ethos' holiday schedule, catering options, and even gift ideas! We'll also let you know about the delicious food and bakery specials you can look forward throughout the month!

If you've already caught the Christmas spirit, you can kick off your holiday season this Saturday, December 5th, at our holiday themed December freecycle. Bring your unwanted decorations, tree trimmings, and other holiday supplies, and perhaps leave with something new! Non-holiday items are also welcome. »View Flyer

We are pleased to announce the gift certificate winners* for December: Mandi Plocher has won a $25 gift certificate in the new subscriber drawing, and Don has won a $10 gift certificate in the existing subscriber drawing. (Winners, check your email!) 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
Owners, Ethos Vegan Kitchen
