Restaurants Dining for a good cause

Eat at Waterhaven and support a good cause -- fundraising for a new gay newspaper in Atlanta. As has been widely reported, Atlanta's two principal gay publications, Southern Voice and David, have ceased publication because their parent company was forced into bankruptcy by the Small Business Administration.
Now, former employees of the publications are organizing to begin a newspaper named Georgia Voice.
Check out the link above or the fundraiser's Facebook page, from which this is excerpted:
WaterHaven, located at 75 5th St. in Atlanta, will host a fundraising dinner for the GA Voice this Saturday, Dec. 19.The restaurant will donate 50 percent of food sales during Saturday’s dinner hours to support start-up costs for our efforts to create a new LGBT news outlet for Atlanta and the rest of Georgia.
WaterHaven is known for using local ingredients in a menu featuring creative takes on familiar favorites, like fried green tomatoes with goat cheese and pumpkin seed pesto.
With dinner hours from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., you can spend the evening or stop by for a great dinner before heading out to holiday parties.
Reservations are requested and can be made by calling the restaurant at (404) 214-6740 or on their website at www.waterhavenatl.comPlease help us spread the word and raise money for the launch of the GA Voice! You can also donate directly to support our efforts by visiting www.savesovo.com and clicking "join our cause."
This is a good group of people. Leading the charge is Chris Cash, the original publisher of Southern Voice, along with Laura Douglas-Brown, the former editor of SoVo and one of the city's finest journalists.
