Please take the Zagat Survey - October 31 is the Deadline
Attention all Slow Food O'ahu members... Please take the Zagat survey with the link at the bottom of this e-mail. The deadline is TOMORROW, October 31, 2010 - short notice. So, please click NOW. Taking the survey is important for several reasons:
1. There are several questions asking about the importance of choosing a restaurant that promotes local food sources, green policies, and sustainability. It's important to voice your preference with your vote.
2. Zagat will be paying Slow Food O'ahu for our members to take this survey. Please help by responding. There is a question near the end asking you how you were connected to this survey. Please write in "Slow Food O'ahu newsletter"
3. By taking the survey you will either receive a 6 month subscription/membership or a chance to enter a sweepstakes to win a dining gift certificate.
So, Slow Foodies... On this weekend of Halloween with all that horrible candy floating around, here's a chance to vote for good food.
