Ariana Hajibashi sent this note to me with a bit of relief for the Dallas tornado victims. Ariana has a per firm that works with restaurants, so see this fireball if your company needs help with public relations – she can help.
She has two clients willing to help those in need so far, but I felt it prudent to run the list as is, we can add later. If your restaurant has a deal for victims, send me a note at Steven@cravedfw.com
With last night’s severe weather leaving many families without homes, I’ve asked my clients if they would be willing to assist with those in need and a couple have already responded (I will update you as I continue to get responses). I personally have a friend who’s home is completely destroyed and they have had to move into a hotel until they can find a rental home. They have two little boys and I honestly couldn’t imagine. Please let anyone and everyone know of the following but please know that this offer is reserved for those truly in need and have had severe damage to their home.
Hope you are safe and continue to stay safe!
Our theaters were fortunate to not be affected by last night’s storms, however many of our neighbors weren’t as lucky. If you’re without power or were in the path of the storm, or just need to take your mind off things for a little, we will be offering free tickets to all PG-rated films at Lake Highlands, Las Colinas and Richardson today, October 21.
If you just need to charge a device, all of our bars will be open and have power.
EDIT: We’ve put the call out to all of our staff that are willing and able to come in today, however our service will be slower than you might be accustomed to at these three locations.
