Free Famous Dave's for Daves

Is your name Dave? Well you're in luck because that's enough to qualify you for free food at Famous Dave's Restaurants in honor of Dave's Day.

Dave's Day is officially August 30, 2009 at participating Famous Dave's locations. If your name is Dave, David, or Davy you can get a free entree valued up to $15. If your middle name is Dave, David or Davy you can get a entree for half price, up to $7.50. Valid only at participating locations.

Now here is the confusing part - so pay attention. Although Dave's Day is officially August 30, many of the participating restaurants are running this promotion on days other than August 30. Still with me? For example, many California Famous Dave's will honor Dave's Day on August 31 and Western Washington participating restaurants will honor Dave's Day on September 8. Got that? Ok. So be sure to check what day Famous Dave's Restaurants in your area are participating.

Not a Dave? You can still take advantage of some discounts. For the Famous Dave's 15th Birthday Bash there will be special offers such as "Buck-a-Bone" spareribs and beer specials. Offers vary by location, so check with your local Famous Dave's to see what they offer.

Free eBook - Dedicated to Lindsey Baum, Missing since 6/26/09

Her name is Lindsey...

These are the words that I see each day when I check the forum on a website I write articles on called eHow.com. On the morning of 6/27/09 a fellow writer posted that a friend of her daughter's never made it home the night before. I check this thread each day, hoping she has been found. She hasn't.

Lindsey Baum was last seen walking home from her friend's house in McCleary, WA around 9:15 pm on the evening if 6/26/09. She was 10 years old at the time of her disappearance. (She turned 11 on 7/7/09.)

More about the case and contact information can be found on www.findlindseybaum.com and www.lindseybaum.com.

The case has grasped the hearts of many of the writers on eHow.com and together they have published a free eBook: A Missing Child is Everyone's Child, which is dedicated to Lindsey Baum. The book contains several useful articles such as how to keep your child safe, how to report a missing child, useful tips and information.

Lindsey comes from a very small town with limited resources. Anyone can help by just getting Lindsey's story out to more people. This is free to do and only takes a few minutes. You can contact media asking them to air her story, post links to the findlindseybaum.com and lindseybaum.com websites to your Facebook or MySpace pages, tweet about it on Twitter, email the story to people you know.

Here is a video someone was kind enough to put on YouTube: Missing: Lindsey Baum

Don't let this end up as a cold case. Someone out there knows something, and all it takes is that one piece of information that will help to bring Lindsey home.

Thank you - Cheap Cindy
