Craislist, Telecare and Bob Weir …Oh My!

It’s been a whirlwind of a week!
Started off with the article in Newsday by Ellis Henican!

Monday, we collaborated with the LI Celebration of Israel’s 60th Anniversary.
Thanks to all who contributed! You rock!

Saturday, we collaborated with The Craigslist Foundation at their Tri-State 2008 Non-Profit Boot Camp at NYU in the city! 1000+ people showed up, food was collected with the help from our team…Jeff, David, Perry, Leslie, Caitlin , Judy and Clarence from UPS!

The food was delivered to the Bowery Mission.

It was a great event! Many thanks to the folks at Craigslist Foundation for ‘getting it’! They rock!

This afternoon, rCr Board Member, Andrew Hazen joined me at a taping of ‘Real Food’ with Father Jim Vlaun at Telecare! It was great! Father Jim cooked with a chef (I don’t want to spoil the surprise for you when it airs ) and we talked about the hunger and the good work rock CAN roll volunteers do. I know this taping will help take 1 giant step forward in our quest to beat hunger! Not only did we get to watch delicious food being prepared, the aroma was to intoxicating! Andrew and I got to taste the food…delicious!

I am always delighted to speak at meetings, or schools, and now even on television. The only request I have, is that any event we partake in, that all associated with the event, bring me a healthy and nutritious food donation that we can deliver to a local emergency food agency.
Thanks to the staff at telecare for the food they brought in today…it really does make a difference! You rock!

Upon my return to rcr hdq…I received the most wonderful email from Dave with Bob Weir and Ratdog, check out this page on their site!!!

Many thanks to Dave for the few kind words he added on their website asking their FANS to Bring CANS or healthy and nutritious food donations to their shows!
It was a great email to end an amazing day!
