Join us for a fun night of great food, community, and optional trivia at Dan’s Downtown Tavern in downtown Saline! When you dine on May 19, simply mention ACA and 20% of your ticket will go directly toward supporting the Washtenaw Association for Community Advocacy’s mission of opening doors to inclusion for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in our community. We also encourage you to jump into their open trivia, happening at 7pm.
NO RSVP REQUIRED. Just show up, dine, mention ACA – and let Dan’s handle your donation!
Come out to dine, compete, socialize, and make a difference — all in one evening. Public parking is available nearby.
