If you answered yes to both of these questions, you would make a great Ambassador for the AIDS Council’s 7th Annual Dining Out for Life® event. On April, 29, 2009, participating restaurants will donate a minimum of 25% of their food sales to benefit the AIDS Council’s prevention and client services programs. Dining Out For Life® raises vital funds to provide services for people living with HIV/AIDS in our community.

In order to make this event a success, the AIDS Council is looking for fun, energetic people, who love to eat out to act as Ambassadors. Ambassadors perform two important roles in Dining Out For Life®:

1. Before the event, they encourage friends, family, business associates, clients and potential clients to dine out at their chosen restaurant on Dining Out For Life® day. We will help you with this by providing you with materials and an email invite that you can easily send out to all your contacts.

2. On the day of the event, Ambassadors serve as a representative for the AIDS Council at their chosen restaurant, greeting diners and thanking them for their participation – this is the fun part, especially since the Ambassador has filled the restaurant with people he or she already knows! (An Ambassador’s “shift” is generally a few hours during breakfast, lunch or dinner, based on the participating restaurant’s schedule and the Ambassador’s availability.)

We encourage you to partner with a co-Ambassador of your choice or we can pair you with someone. A training session will be provided. Restaurant selections will be determined on a first come, first served basis. To volunteer, please contact Melissa Brown, Special Event Coordinator, at 518.434.4686, Ext. 2415 or mbrown@aidscouncil.org.
