Dining out for a cause

There is still time to participate in the annual Dine out for Kids event here in Durham. Organized by Communities in Schools, the Dine out for Kids event allows patrons to visit participating restaurants; those restaurants in turn donate a portion of their day's sales to benefit CIS of Durham.
