Yeah, well it was still only $78 worth of "right action, " but food banks are pretty good at stretching a dollar. 

3. I got an email last night in response to the HOCM sake party posting I made to SCA-West. It was from our land agent for GWW, informing me he would save a spot for me "right out front on Laurel Lane" wherever that is.

Thanks, guys.

$78.00 is not an small sum when feeding hungry people. I did not see you. If you do this again please find me.

$1 Dollar donated can equate to $6.00 worth of food to a food bank.

That is what I understand from my friends who work at them. It is easier for the food bank to fill in the gaps with the actuall food donations they recieve to provide as balanced a care package as possible.

Based on my estimation you provided buying power of $468.00 for food for the hungry.

Damned good as far as I am concerned.

You were busy doing Princess things, probably. You don't need me to "play." ;-D

http://www.bayareahunger.org/ has information on how to contribute. And if your place of business does corporate matching, get them in on it.

That was my understanding as well and it sucketh not. It just looks rather modest compared to other fundraisers. ;-D
