________________
Just received this letter and I wanted to share it ….

Dear Aimee,

We were so very happy to receive the wonderful supply of food you just delivered.
We were very low in the Pantry and your visit made a few of our people very happy indeed.
It is such a letdown when someone comes in with the hopes of getting at least one good meal
that day. We do have a pretty good and steady supply of peanut butter and jelly but how many times
can you eat the same thing? The heat of summer, the struggle to get a decent job, and the anxiety about
being able to pay the rent when it is due are a few of the stresses people deal with.
I must tell you though how it warms our hearts too to be able to see a smile on the face of one of our
little kids when they see a juice drink and maybe a cookie once in a while.

So, thank you for the awesome work you do on behalf of those who struggle to have their basic needs met.
I also want to say how deeply impressed we were with Lisa and her daughter Mary. Now there are two
people who fill us with hope and promise for a better future.

Please be assured of our continued prayer for you, those whom you hold dear, and all who help you in your
endeavors to care for our sisters and brothers in need.

Most Sincerely,

Sr. Patricia Turley, CSJ
Director of Services

Thanks for getting it and helping us put food into the hands of men, women and children who need it. It is on their behalf that I thank you…you rock!

Hugs and Peace –

Warped Tour – Oh what a day!

I just realized that the Warped Tour was coming to Long Island yesterday – and that Jac Vanek was on tour, selling her amazing bracelets and t-shirts!

Being they’re only 15 minutes away…I knew I had to get over there to meet her and THANK her for supporting rock CAN roll!

Buy a 16Wishes limited edition Jac Vanek Bracelet at Borders and Help our wish come true!

With a little help from my friends Bob , Kerry and Ernie in the MONSTER Truck (so cool) I was able to get a ride and get a ticket into the venue in search of Jac!

Thanks Ernie...you rock!

Thanks Ernie...you rock!

After walking up countless aisles of booth upon booth of very AWESOME merch, (I really could have bought everything!) I found Jac!

In search of Jac Vanek! I found her!

But wait there’s more! Just when I was walking out, six inches off the ground, after meeting Ernie and Jac, I saw a tent that read LivingTheDream.org . For all of you who know me – of course it is something I would just walk by. So I stopped to ask the gentleman near by, if he knew what it was all about. He told me that Hurley and this group brings kids who are ill out to the Warped Tour in each city they visit! How COOL is that! When I asked if he was with them, his reply, was “No,I’m Kevin, I run the Warped Tour’! My response was, I’m the “mother of rock CAN roll”

Mother of rock CAN roll, Aimée with the Father of the Warped Tour, Kevin!

and we went on to talk about future potential collaborations!
What are the chances? Life is good and long live rock!

Many thanks to all who continue to support rock CAN roll! On behalf of the men, women and children who have food on their plates because of you…all I can say is YOU ROCK! In peace…Aimée

ps…How is your day going
