Grazie - Gracias - Dank - Shukrani - Merci - Thanks




Well last weekend we made & delivered 479 lunch boxes to the 27th Brigade!  Thanks to all the awesome helpers, Julie, Kenzie, Kenson & Kenly, Andy (our Sysco Rep, hows that for caring about your customer!) Ella Mae (who never lets me down) & Don who delivered the first & largest order (206) on Friday.  Also, Emily & Paul for helping with the beverage purchasing & getting them all to the Cafe.  Special thanks to Sgt. Mahoney for her supporting a local small business.  We used 44 loaves of Bread - 479 Lunch Boxes - Apples - Bags of Chip - Wrapped Cookies - Assorted Beverages - Napkins - Mayo & Mustard Packs.  33 Pounds Of Turkey - 33 Pounds of Ham - 20 Pounds of Roast Beef & Almost 10 Pounds of our 'Signature' Chicken Salad!  Thanks to all!
This week we celebrate Thanksgiving.  Now is the time to really be thankful for all we have.  It's not a time for reflecting on what we want, for after all God does provide for all our needs.  We have now chosen to let commerce 'gobble up' family time & rest & relaxation.  I am from an age that most retail businesses were closed on Sunday & all Holidays.  We seemed to enjoy life much more & actually had & took time to live!  Today we have 24/7 excess to the 'Wally Worlds' to internet shopping from every venue & each corner has a Drug Store that offers everything from 'soup to nuts' for all who must be catered to @ every minute & still we feel the need to eliminate Thanksgiving.  I pray that I might slow down & truly understand who is really in control.....
As always I thank those who have supported us & most especially for your prayers for our continued success even with our non 24/7 schedule!
