Dine for America -- National Fundraiser Oct. 5 On Wednesday, October 5th, more than 800 of Oregon's restaurants, their owners and operators, employees and guests participated in Dine for America. This was the industry's largest fundraising effort in history; we far surpassed the number of participating restaurants that joined together in 2001 and we had outstanding media coverage nationwide. This truly was a grassroots effort with many on the local and state level dedicating the past month to the success of this program. We know that in addition to paid advertising, Dine for America was in every daily newspaper in Oregon and most of the weeklies, was featured on all of Oregon's major metropolitan area news radio and television news stations, as well as all of the Portland TV news stations. The American Red Cross-Oregon Trail Chapter has asked that all restaurant contributions be sent to them by November 1, 2005. At which point, they will tally up all the donations and should be able to tell us the total amount raised in Oregon. Donations should go to: American
