CORA CASH
The founder of a restaurant chain that recently opened in Coquitlam this month served up $2,689 to the Coquitlam Foundation for its investment fund.
Cora Mussely Tsouflidou of Cora Breakfast and Lunch and her son, Nick, presented the cash to the foundation's executive director Laurel Lawson, chairperson Colleen Talbot and other directors and volunteers. The cash was raised during the eatery's Family and Friends Day.
