ACOL invites you to a Free two day workshop
A Taste For Life 2010 - Wednesday, April 28!
A Taste For Life has become the signature event of the AIDS Committee of London (ACOL). Last year's event raised close to $75,000 to support
programs and services for people living with, affected by and at-risk for HIV/AIDS in our community.
This year we are shooting for the participation of 35 owner-operated restaurants in London and area. Our goal is $80,000! A Taste For Life has
captured the attention and philanthropic inclinations of people all over London and we thank our loyal supporters for their continued interest in our cause!
Please visit www.atasteforlife.org for a listing of past participating restaurants. A new listing will be coming soon. Invite your friends, family and co-workers
and book you favourite restaurant early. Supporting a good cause has never tasted so good!
