Whinos is supporting ‘Give a Dog a Bone’ a Holiday Bone Drive for Shelter Dogs. Please bring a donation of dog bones to Whinos at White Dog Cafe on December 8th.

Wednesday Night Whinos will be celebrating a fabulous first year with our fun holiday party at Wayne’s White Dog Cafe on Wednesday, December 8th from 6-8pm in the main bar area. Whinos, AroundMainLine.com’s popular ladies social club, launched this past March and has become the Main Line’s hottest women’s networking event! And, for our holiday party, we are welcoming the gentlemen to attend, as well, to celebrate the opening of Marty Grims’ White Dog Cafe in Wayne.

White Dog, the most anticipated Main Line restaurant opening this fall, opened its doors on Friday, November 12th and has quickly become the hippest dining spot in the western suburbs. White Dog offers a whimsical dog-themed décor and welcoming atmosphere, combined with a delicious, contemporary American menu spearheaded by executive chef Zack Grainda.

Whinos will include complimentary munchies in the bar area along with our special guest of the evening, Barbara Balongue of Villanova’s Balongue Design. Barbara and her team are the interior design firm behind the spectacular White Dog decor that has all the Main Line a buzz!

In addition, all attendees are encouraged to bring a donation of dog bones to support a local cause called ‘Give a Dog a Bone.’ The second-year initiative, created by Main Line family law attorney Randi Vladimer, is a wonderfully successful grass roots effort to collect dog bones and toys for shelter dogs. Last year Vladimer amassed 420 lbs. of milkbones, over 1100 rawhide bones, 200 Kong toys and Nyla bones, hundreds of bags of treat, blankets, dog beds and a few snuggies which all went to animal shelters in the Philadelphia area, MD and Camden, SC.

For those unable to attend Whinos Holiday Party and make a donation, donations of bones or other items can be dropped off and/or mailed to 320 King of Prussia Road, Suite 140, Radnor, PA 19087 through Wednesday, December 15th. Any inquiries about ‘Give a Dog a Bone’ can call: 610-975-9898.
