Martini with a twist
If you have no plans on this lovely Wednesday night, consider heading out to Trio Bistro Bar Bottle in downtown Roanoke for "Cocktails for a Cause." A percentage of the price you pay for your delicious dirty martini (or whatever your poison) will go to St. Francis of Assisi service dog foundation.
Trio owner Sands Woody says he started doing "Cocktails for a Cause" on Wednesday nights in June and plans to continue the event through the end of the year. Each week, Woody will donate 20 percent of the proceeds from the bar between 5 and 8 p.m. to a different charity.
Woody is going to send me a list of the charities they have booked through October. I'll be sure to either post that list on the blog or in the newspaper so you can see if there's one you are particularly interested in supporting.
There's no cover charge to get through the door at Trio on Wednesdays and if you decide to stay for dinner, the restaurant will donate 20 percent of your meal costs, too!
St. Francis of Assisi will spend the donated money training puppies to become faithful service dogs to disabled citizens, so it's a good cause. And if you head down tonight, you might even get to pet one of those fine pups yourself.
