Today is the day. Over 60 local restaurants are donating 25% of every meal/non-alcoholic beverage bill back to the Pierce Country AIDS Foundation.  So for today, make sure anywhere you’re buying food of coffee is part of Dine Out. This is a very important fundraiser for PCAF.  For a full list of restaurants check out this link.

Also in Tacoma, school board candidate Chris Van Vechten has his campaign kick off event at 6pm in the 6th Avenue Baptist Church. What’s unique is Chris is asking those who attend for donations of books for the non-profit organization Reading Tree.

Finally, the new Tacoma Poet Laureate will be announced to day at an event in the University of Puget Sound’s Rausch Auditorium. The event begins at 8pm and features a farewell to current Poet Laureate, Bill Kupinse, as well as readings by Bill and Professor Hans Ostrom.

Plenty of reasons to get out in Tacoma today. Get eating, get donating, get reading.
