PAE will be hosting a variety of fundraisers in the coming months.

Thursday 7/23 is one of them.

The Red Robin restaurant on SE Division street in Gresham (near our most recent weekend performance space) is donating 20% of the sales _all day_ from those who present the flyer (physical or digital) when ordering.

Please share with your friends, neighbors, and loved ones. Maybe some of us will meet up for dinner tomorrow, enjoy the A/C and each other's company!
