Got Food?

Hi everyone, hope your day is going well. Take a sec right now and thank God for all of our blessings, we are so fortunate. Ok so, have you ever said to yourself "well I would like to help the poor and feed the hungry but you know I just don't have the time"? Well guess what? We are bringing that very opportunity to you right here at work, during your lunch hour, now what excuse do you have? Here's the deal, as you may know the Community Relations Team is putting on one of their awesome BBQs this Friday to help raise funds and awareness for various organizations such a the Komen rase for the cure, the American Heart Association (remember Don our guard just suffered a heart attack and had to have open heart surgery just last month, so its our friends and co-workers here) and others. And in combination with that we will be putting together additional "To Go" lunch boxes here on site to take out to the community and, you guessed it, feed the poor and hungry. Now what we need are volunteers to help assemble these boxes and fill with the food items. Our own Momchil Milev and Alan Johnson (and you if you like) will be taking these boxes out into the parks where these folks live and distributing them. What an awesome ministry and outreach for our CVI Group! This is what we do right? We serve others in need and its so easy. So who is going to step up to the plate and volunteer an hour of their precious time? We are all busy (don't get me started) but this will go super fast with more hands. 

Date: this Friday
Time: Just after the BBQ, around 1:00

Let me know if you would like to participate.
