If you dined at Sunnyside Cafe on Tuesday, February 26, give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back. Animal Compassion Network tells me the restaurant raised over $500 in the Dine To Be Kind fund raiser that day, despite the bad weather. Thanks to Jack, Patti, and all the staff at Sunnyside for opening that evening and participating in the event.

Saw this in today’s Citizen-Times:
