Bring your friends and enjoy delicious pizza & gelato for a great cause!

It’s no secret that the dropout phenomenon in this country is at epidemic proportions. Nationally, statistics show that 1 out of 3 public high school students won’t graduate. These dropouts create tremendous burdens on our economy. Together we can make a difference in at-risk students’ lives. 

Proceeds from the Dine Out for Kids event will allow Communities in Schools to continue to provide after-school, youth leadership, literacy, parent education and other pertinent programs in communities served.

Communities In Schools is the nation’s largest stay-in school network, serving more than 1 million youth in 27 states across the United States and the District of Columbia. Click here for more information about Communities in Schools.

1,145 tweets later, I realize, Twitter has been alternately frivolous and deep for me. When @Carl tweeted that police were collecting donations outside the Krispy Kreme, I laughed at the implication the police were buying donuts with the donations! A few weeks ago, I honestly cried at several links from @TehranBureau. What started as a way to connect with the local community has also shown an immediacy to chaos a world away.

In the local community, one of my favorite things about Twitter is seeing the divergent political opinions. When I read politically inspired tweets from @pkelly99, I always wonder what @colombiancoffee would think — and what he would think of her tweets. It fascinates me that obviously intelligent people come to such different conclusions, and it challenges me to refine my thoughts on the subjects of their tweets.

Brian and I also love seeing comments about our delicious pizza from @JenDelgadoCNN or about our awesome gelato from @KaaSerpent or @Gigibell. We truly appreciate the recommendations as we try to establish our new restaurant.

We’re so glad to have met @StephanieALloyd and @Keppie_Careers. They hosted our first tweetup last week! And they are holding a series of job search interventions at Pizzeria Venti this month. We’ve really enjoyed working with them.

Several of our Twitter followers — including the wonderful @ATLCheap — have helped spread the word about our menu items, including our new kid’s menu.

All of this to say we want to show a little love for our Twitter followers. And so, watch for upcoming “Twitter Thursday” specials from your pals at Pizzeria Venti.

Each Thursday, we’ll tweet a deal & you can redeem the discount that day by mentioning you saw the deal on Twitter.
