Make the Pieces Fit

In case you've missed it so far, we're in the last few days of Autism Awareness Month. Hanging out with friends at the local pub might be relaxing for you, but it could be torture to people diagnosed with autism. Which is all the more reason to stop by Café Trio (3535 Broadway, 816-756-3227) and donate some money to a good cause. All month, Café Trio has offered the Puzzler, a sweet and sour raspberry martini served with a puzzle piece. All proceeds from sales of the $7 drink go to the KC Autism Training Center for new educational methods and technology for the treatment of children with autism. The puzzle pieces are supposed to get you in the mood for tonight's big event: From 6 to 9 p.m., a $25 cover gets you more Puzzlers, appetizers, live entertainment and a jigsaw puzzle contest that'll net the winner $300. Proceeds go to the Autism Training Center. Now get out there, and give until your friends have to drive you home. Cafe Trio
