I also want to thank Donnie & Bill for the pecans; Sharon, Reatha and Mary Sue for the cookies and Jeff's connection, Sharon & Elaine for the presents. I heard enough "thank you" to last a long time.

We had a big turnout today for our holiday party. Everyone had snacks and presents and lots of good groceries. Fed 108 families - I think that is a record since we moved downstairs. Thanks to Mary Sue, Ginger and Kathy for helping out.

The concert last night was proof once again that the beauty, compassion and generosity of those who gathered with us will be the force that changes lives for the better.

I'm not bragging but I just earned a $125 credit from the Food Bank for being one of the first to complete the Hunger in America survey. That is one weeks budget. Oops, I think I am bragging.
