 Let everyone tell everyone

So far more than 30 Chinese Restaurants in RI have joined our fundraising for earthquake relief. Posters, donation boxes and donation guide have been placed at these restaurants, through which more people will become aware of what we are doing and take actions. Meanwhile, many restaurant owners and workers are donating their own time, services and financial support to the victims. Here is the news from three local Chinese restaurants:

Please share this news with all people around and encourage them to participate. It is  a nice thing to do to help the victims while enjoying delicious Chinese food.

让大家告诉大家:

目前已经有数十间餐馆参与了我们的募款行动。在这些餐馆中，我们放置了海报，捐款箱， 捐款指示卡片等物品。 希望在餐馆的帮助下让更多的人了解并支持我们的活动。而这些餐馆本身也在为受灾同胞们出钱出力。以下为来自三家餐馆的消息：
