Hi Joe,
  I was hoping you could help get the word out about a fundraiser we are holding at Espresso Italian Grille & Pub. It will be a pizza buffet on Monday, April 29th from 6-9:30. The cost of the buffet is $10per person and 100% of all buffet sales will be donated to the One Fund Boston. We appreciate any "shout outs" you can give to make this event a success.
Thanks So Much!
