Joe's Pasta Garage - Pasta - Thon!

Who doesn't love Joe's, right??? I mean, I don't know what I love the most...the food, the pasta nacho's..the ambiance, the bathroom (no for real, the bathroom is SO cool) I love the garlic knots, I love the pizza...Mmmm

BUT....BUT....BUT!! What I think I love the most, is that this is a family run business, a family with small kids, I know how hard it is to run a business with a small family, mine are older and I find it challenging at times! But this young couple works as a team! The GIVE back in many ways, such as this, but I also know that Jamie also mentors young teens that live around his house, lending his garage for these kids bands and also lending his basketball hoop to those kids...(also hurting himself, "playing" like a kid with those kids;) These things mean a lot to young boys, him being in their lives, will make a difference somehow...but really, I think he does it just for the fun:)

Joe's Pasta Garage has also donated 2 nights, carry out or dine in. You can get these flyers at school (check the backpacks, friends:) And thank you Jamie and Kristin for donating to such a worthwhile cause. The Ootm kids can do dishes that night for you:)

Pizza Thursday at Mark's in Skaneateles!

Here you have it, I just love this flyer!!! And I love how generous the folks at Mark's pizzeria are!

I don't know about you, but this whole business about going out to support the team by eating and also supporting local businesses is working just fine, I love killing two birds with one stone!

Just a tip, when you order a large pizza, ask them to cut it in squares for you, it's so much less messier than those big triangle pie shapes..the point of my triangle always flops..and you tend to eat less pieces of pizza this way too:) (It's how most Chicago joints cut their pizza!)

Thank you to Mark's! CLICK HERE, BECAUSE I JUST LEARNED THAT YOU CAN ORDER ONLINE!

Get out to Chili's in Auburn!

Chili's in Auburn, right over by the Fingerlake's mall is so graciously donating a portion of your bill....(10%).I say that so confidently because who doesn't LOVE Chili's..especially for kids! So here is the deal:

It's so simple, it's sweet! A sweet deal! (aka: a night us parent's don't have to cook and a portion of it can go to the team!)

First..it's one night only, and that night is MONDAY MAY 2nd! EEks..that is tomorrow! 3pm to 11pm

Hooray for me, no cooking, pass it along, so you can spare your friends and their friends of no cooking too, heck we can all have a party there! These coupons should have gone home in backpacks or you can pick them up at the school too.

BUT, you must bring one of these coupons!

IF you cannot make it to this restaurant night, don't worry, Mark's pizzeria AND Joe's Pasta Garage also have graciously and generously offered days that will help raise money for the team! Stay tuned for those days, I will announce them as soon as possible. (I know for a fact that Mark's Pizza will be Thursday May 5th) I will get those flyers posted as soon as possible!

They were really correct when it was said that it takes a village..and sometimes the village next door too!

Thank you!

Joelle's french bistro supports Ootm!

Have you had the food at Joelle's french bistro?? Not the hoity toity french cuisine, where the bites are like mouse bites. BUT real french cooking and even a bit of Moroccan twists!

Now is your chance to try it. During the week of April 25th through 29th if you visit the restaurant you will be helping the Ootm team that is world bound! 10% of your check will be contributed to the Ootm team.

We can't thank Joelle and Alain enough for being so generous. I know I will be going to have a bite to eat that week! Be sure to get a flyer or print this one out. Stop at Bijou salon in Skaneateles, I will have plenty of them there!

Thank you and enjoy the dinner, here are a few pictures just to get your taste buds watering!

Get ready to "FUN"draise and party!

With this..you can come and have fun. If it's not your thing, you can bake something for the cake wheel (like cake roulette and my favorite thing of all!) Or you can volunteer. Any little mouse bite of help will be appreciated!
