Iowa City restaurant raises charity funds through 20 percent sales
Thai Flavor restaurant owners Prasong and Cherry Nurack have donated about 20 percent of two days weekly sales since opening December 31 2001, raising around $20 000 for local groups including many student organizations. The couple view the effort as community goodwill and plan a future trip to Thailand to share Iowa life with students.
