June 7 Inaugural CAFÉ Huntington Dinner
CAFÉ Huntington has scheduled their first dinner for 6pm, June 7th at McClelland Park (follow 27th Street until you reach the Ohio River). CAFE Huntington provides small (micro) grants to artists and activists in the Huntington, WV area. There are only three remaining spots open for artists and creative projects to pitch their ideas at the dinner. Here’s how it works: One day each month we invite people to a great location for a meal. Guest chefs cook some fantastic meals and it only costs $10 per person to join us. All of the income from that meal is given as a grant to support a local project. During the meal representatives from the different groups seeking the grants present their projects and then, when dinner is done, everyone who bought dinner gets to vote on their favorite project. The project that receives the most votes gets all of that meals money. For more information, go to:
