It's always nice when businesses, specifically restaurants, are singled out and given recognition for their community service or philanthropic efforts. Its definitely not easy to commingle the desire to maximize profit with bigger-picture endeavors, either community work or eco-consciousness. The California Restaurant Association today announced the 2007 winners of the 'National Restaurant Neighbor Award and Cornerstone Humanitarian Award' whom are recognized for their community outreach efforts, above and beyond the norm. The California winners of the Restaurant Neighbor Award are Sorensen's Resort and Cafe in Hope Valley, Mary's Pizza Shack in Sonoma and Mimi's Café in Tustin. The winner of the California Cornerstone Humanitarian Award is Dorothy L. Walker of Wellington's Pub & Restaurant in Turlock. They will be up for the national awards in September.
Whether they're going eco is another thing. But at least they're doing something, which is more than what can be said for most restaurants out there currently. Definitely a step in the right direction.
