Now that we have dates given...we also need help working on our local seafood guide.

We will be splitting this up into categories...we need people to cover each of these:

Grocery Stores

Restaurants: (fine dining, sushi, chinese, thai, vietnamese, traditional (e.g. Bennigans, Chili's, Friday's, etc..., Mexican, Italian, steakhouses) That should be good for now.

Just pick a category and call the popular places in Austin or (local favorites)...tell them who you are and what you're doing. Then ask what sustainable seafood they serve and how is it caught (wild-caught, farmed, etc...) If you opt to do grocery stores, please respond on here on the comments section of the blog with the one you are contacting so we don't have multiple people calling; same goes for the categories, please let the members know via comments which restaurants in which categories you are contacting. You can then email me the results once they are in. Other than that, that should cover it. Please try to come by this Friday to help with tabling...if anything you get free cookies:) Ok, let me know if you have any questions. Also please RSVP on facebook if you will be attending the canoe cleanup this Sunday! Thanks. ~AMI
