YouTubeThis is mentioned in another post, however, this is a good cause with great food and it is very CU worthy so I am posting as well. Here are all the details - you can chose to go on September 7th or 14th.

We just found out that Abdi Roble from the Somali Documentary Project is going to speak at the dinner on September 7th. We are excited and honored for him to attend.

Abdi is pretty inspiring. Hope he can do the 14th as well.

Just wanted to bump this and make a minor correction: due to input from members of the Somali community who are active in the relief effort, we're now donating all proceeds to the American Refugee Committee.
To learn more about Solay Bistro, see here (alt.eats), here (Columbus Alive review), or here (Urbanspoon reviews). Believe 'em, it's that good!
Tickets are just $35, and we'll be at both dinners. Hope you can join us!

I just wanted to let people know that there are only 8 tickets left for the September 7th dinner.

We had a great turnout last night, and from what I gather from the twittersphere, a very successful and much-enjoyed event as well. For more on the evening, please see Alexandra477's recap here.
We've sold out of our initial allotment of 40 tickets for next Wednesday's dinner, but now, having been through this once, our host has the confidence to increase the total number of participants by 20.
So... as she's selling half of the tickets and we're selling half, that means we have 10 more tickets to offer to you! If you'd like to participate, you may purchase tickets here.

We are hosting two more fundraiser dinners to support the work of the American Refugee Committee in Somalia. The dates are December 7th and 14th.
Here is more information about the event:

Here is Alex's write up of one of the previous dinners.
Thank you for your support. From the two dinners we held in September we were able to send $2,400 to the ARC, but the famine rages on.

We just got word that Columbus's Abdi Roble and representatives with the American Refugee Committee are in NYC meeting with Good Morning America to discuss the famine in the horn of Africa as well as the fundraising efforts being conducted.
We're thrilled to hear that Abdi's and the ARC's efforts are getting well-deserved national exposure and excited that the Solay Bistro fundraising dinners are being mentioned as an example of how to contribute to the cause.
