We have lots of fun events planned for May, including our vegan Cinco de Mayo tomorrow, Mother's Day Brunch this Sunday, the return of Taco-Waco Wednesdays, and the first VBBQ of the summer! More details on each of these events can be found below.

Kelly and I have been watching the progression of the oil leak in the Gulf with both dismay and trepidation. After living in Virginia Beach for some time, I understand the economic importance of the high tourist season to beachside communities. The best way to help these businesses, and the owners and employees who make their livelihood from them, is for us folks who live nearby to visit the gulf coast this summer despite the oil. If you have a favorite restaurant, bed and breakfast, museum, or shop on the gulf coast - go and support them by making a purchase. This small action may seem insignificant, but even just one sale can make a difference.

The environmental consequences are unthinkable as well. We are organizing a seabird supply drive to assist the response to oiled seabirds. See below for the items we are collecting. Also, we found this great article online which lists ways you can help. Please take action and get involved, whether you donate or volunteer - it's up to us to make recovery possible.

Back to our regularly schedule program: we are pleased to announce the gift certificate winners* for May: Maria has won a $25 gift certificate in the new subscriber drawing, and Dana Mosling 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 reading, and we look forward to seeing you at the restaurant!

Sincerely,
Laina & Kelly Shockley
Owners, Ethos Vegan Kitchen
