favorite activities – dining out – to raise funds for
the fight against HIV/AIDS during CTAM Summit 05 in Philadelphia
from July 24 – 26, 2005. Four of Philadelphia’s
finest restaurants – Abbraccio Restaurant, Bistro St. Tropez,
Patou and Valanni – will donate a portion of the proceeds
from lunch, dinner and in some places Sunday brunch for Cable Positive
and Action AIDS, Pennsylvania’s largest AIDS service organization
and the chosen organization of Cable Positive’s Philadelphia
Chapter.

and fodder from cable industry luminaries. Anyone that purchases
the cookbook during the Summit will be entered into a raffle to receive
