Hit the Streets Marketing
A restaurant night is a very popular fundraiser for small
groups like school PTO/PTAs, scout groups, sports teams
and other groups with a good size member base but few
volunteers. While the potential for large profits from this
fundraiser aren’t very likely it can provide a steady source of
income for those group with very little effort.
What should you take when you hit the
streets marketing your new endeavor?
Here are some of the best places to go
to get started with signing up groups

• Churches/Synagogues
• Local Public & Private Schools
• Local Rec Council
• Sports Leagues
• Clubs
• Business Cards
• Community Centers

• Child Care Facilities
• Food Samples: Take a small sample tray of goodies you have on the menu for people to try. If they can try the food they are more likely to sign up.
• Anywhere you can help each other!
These days fundraisers use and to advertise. If both parties advertise it will be the most effective communication to all of your fans and theirs.

restaurant menu ideas for kids
Tips for Kid-Friendly Designs
Eating out is something people from a
wide range of demographics enjoy –
this includes children. In fact, with kids
becoming more attuned to the whole
experience of eating where they have
some say over what they’re having for
dinner, (which is likely to NOT be brussel
sprouts or broccoli) restaurant owners
are starting to notice them as important
consumers. This is one reason why many
establishments, and not just fast food
places, try to come up with restaurant
menu ideas for their young diners.
Layouting kids’ menus can be really fun
because you get to play around with
colors (even more than usual), and add
a sense of whimsy to the entire project.
Of course, there are still a few things
to consider when trying to create the
funnest menu ever.
Creating Kid-Approved Designs
One good thing to keep in mind is that
kids don’t like to be kept waiting just
like everyone else, but this is especially
true for children. Anyone who’s heard
“Are we there yet?” 746,000 times while
en route to grandma’s can attest to that.
Restaurant owners can make the wait
easier and more enjoyable for the kids
with the menus made especially for them.
Placemat
Menus are best
for toddlers who
will like solving
the mazes and
drawing on
the menus.
Folded
Menus are
sort of like “real”
menus and are better for older
kids (ages 5 and up) who are likely to have
some say on what goes on the table.
What’s Inside the Menu?
Here are some tips:
As the designer, it is your job to create an
awesome menu but how should you do
it? Here are some tips that can help you
make a menu that kids can enjoy, and can
help their parents relax.
• Having photos of the special or favorite
menu items on the children’s menu is
a good idea. Some young visitors may
not read too well yet, and pictures can
help them choose their food.
Placemat-Type or Folded-Type?
• Menus are mostly expected to make
good use of colors but this rule is
emphasized in kids’ menus because
children generally love colorful things.
There are two particularly popular types
of menus: the flat placemat variety
which commonly has some puzzles and
activities, and the folded menus with
multiple pages.
• Activities are what kids like best.
Coloring pages, mazes and connectthe-dots are great for really little kids
while older ones might like spot-the-
difference, tic-tac-toe and trivia games.
If you’d rather have reusable menus,
you can add hidden objects or magic
eye games.
• Restaurants with their own mascots
can include their own comic or story in
the menu. A cute character can help
endear the place to children. Funny
stories will have kids giggling as they
wait for their meal while stories with
lessons in them will make sure they
take home more than just satisfied
stomachs.
Remember, if you have trouble coming
up with designs, try consulting your inner
child – he or she will be a really big help!

wisconsin gouda
Wisconsin cheesemakers proudly
carry on the tradition of making
fine Gouda, a cheese first produced
more than 800 years ago in Holland.
Both the age and flavor of Gouda
can be determined by the color of
the wax casing: Red wax suggests
mild; yellow or clear wax suggests
aged or flavored; and black or brown
wax suggests smoked. Wisconsin
produces Gouda in many varieties:
plain, caraway, smoked, reduced fat,
and endless—a version that is easier
to slice.
FLAVOR: Light, buttery, and nutty.
GOES WELL WITH: Crackers, apples,
pears, peaches, apricots, cherries,
and nuts.
PAIRS WITH: Beaujolais, Bock,
Brandy, Brown Ale, Champagne,
Chardonnay, Lager, Pale Ale, Pinot
Gris, Porter, Riesling, Scotch, and
Stout.

pennsylvania seasonal produce
Pennsylvania has plenty of rich, lovely farmland and a range of crops
to match. See what’s in season when in Pennsylvania below. Exact crop
availability and harvest times vary year-to-year, but this summary will help
you know when to look for what at markets near you.
Apples are one of those fruits people
have forgotten have a season. But they
do, and in the Northern Hemisphere
they’re harvested late summer through
fall.
Cabbage is bright and crisp when raw
and mellows and sweetens the longer it’s
cooked. The cooler the weather when it’s
harvested, the sweeter it tends to taste
(this effect is called “frost kissed”).
Beets are in season in temperate
Carrots are harvested year-round in
climates fall through spring, and available
from storage most of the year everywhere
else. Fresh beets are often sold with their
greens still attached.
Broccoli can be grown year-round in
temperate climates so we’ve forgotten
it even has a season. It is more sweet,
less bitter and sharp when harvested in
the cooler temperatures of fall in most
climates.

temperate areas. Unusual varieties are
harvested during the carrot’s natural
season, which is late summer and fall.
True baby carrots - not the milled down
versions of regular carrots sold as “baby
carrots” in bags at grocery stores - are
available in the spring and early summer.
Locally grown carrots are often available
from storage through early winter even in
colder climates.
Cauliflower may be grown, harvested,
and sold year-round, but it is by nature a
cool weather crop and at its best in fall
and winter and into early spring.
Celery is at its best in the fall, with its
harvest continuing through winter in
warm and temperate climates.
Cranberries, native to North America,
are harvested in New England and the
Upper Midwest in the fall.
Edamame are fresh soy beans - look for
them in late summer and fall.
Mushrooms (wild) have different
seasons throughout the U.S. Most wild
mushrooms other than morels are inseason in summer through fall.
Okra (early fall) needs heat to grow, so a
nice long, hot summer in warmer climates
brings out its best. Look for firm, plump
pods in late summer and early fall.
Radishes (all types) are so fast-growing
Eggplant (early fall) comes into season
towards the end of summer, but bright
shiny heavy-feeling specimens stay in
season well into fall.
that they can be sown several times
during the growing season in most
climates. Fall marks the end of the season
for small red radishes and the beginning
of the season for larger daikon-type
radishes.
Fennel’s natural season is from fall
through early spring. Like most cool
weather crops, the plant bolts and turns
bitter in warmer weather.
Figs have a short second season in late
fall (the first harvest comes in summer)
just in time for Thanksgiving.
Shallots are harvested in late summer
and into fall, and are at their sweetest
when fresh.
Garlic is another produce item that we
Onions come from storage all year
round but most onions are harvested in
late summer through the fall.
Grapes (early fall) ripen towards the end
Parsnips look like white carrots and
have a great nutty flavor. Look for thinner
parsnips, since fatter ones tend to have a
thick, woody core you need to cut out.

plump, sweetest best in late summer and
fall.
of summer where they grow best; the
harvest continues into fall.
Green Beans tend to be sweetest and
most tender during their natural season,
from mid-summer into fall in most
regions.
Kale is like all hearty cooking greens cooler weather keeps it sweet.
Lettuce (in warmer climates), like other
greens, bolts and turn bitter when the
weather gets too warm, making it inseason somewhere in the U.S. year-round.
It can also be grown in low-energy
greenhouses in colder climates through
the winter.
Pears have a season that runs from midsummer well into winter, depending on
the variety and region.
Spinach, indeed, has a season. It
varies with your climate - year-round
in temperate areas, summer and fall in
cooler areas, fall through spring in warmer
regions.
Sweet Potatoes are often sold as
“yams.” They store well and are available
from local sources year-round in warmer
areas; from late summer through winter
other places.
Peppers (early fall) - both sweet and
Tomatillos look like small green
tomatoes with a light green papery husk.
Potatoes are excellent storage
Turnips have a sharp but bright and
sweet flavor. Look for turnips that feel
heavy for their size.

harvested in the fall.
Pumpkins are the most common
winter squash and come into season in
