The Beneficiaries:

This month we are going to be giving to two groups.  February is a month that is all about couples and this month we have coupled together two beneficiaries for your philanthropic pleasure.  Oxfam Canada's objective is that of ending poverty and injustice, and have made an impact of the Ottawa arts and cultural community through their event Music 4 Change.  Ottawa School of Art's objective is that of teaching and promoting the arts, and outside of the obvious contribution of artists to the Ottawa arts and cultural community they also organize the Art Bus, returning this fall.  Both quite noble.  This is the first beneficiary paring of many that are to come throughout the year.  

The Eats:

-La Dolce Vita
(180 Preston Street - 613-223-6329) - This Preston street restaurant has always caught my eye with their sunken patio in the summer months and their patio Christmas tree in the winter months.  On February 2nd we will be sampling their eye catching pizza at the O.S.A.

-Agave Grill
(1331 Wellington St.- 613-728-5588) - Last year at this time the winter months were bother some and we received a bit (a whole lot) of a warm up with the salsas, and dips from this amazing southwestern restaurant.  This year on February 2nd we will again be warmed up with Agave Grill's heat at the O.S.A.

-Cocoa Camino
(www.cocoacamino.com) - This fair trade organic brand (produced by La Siembra Co-operative) is in the business of chocolate, great tastes, ethical and environmental standards, and on February 2nd they will be contributing to the business of fun. (World Beats and Eats is not a business but the whole sentence just seemed to work)  

The Beats:

This month the musical giveaways are provided by Putumayo World Music- Putumayo has been a staple of international sounds for quite some time. This month they are going to supply us with a musical food sampler.

Always swanky in house beats.
