My mom, my sister and my nieces & nephew have been doing monthly family fun runs in the LA area -- they keep telling me that I must find a race organizer to partner with so that we can start feeding the masses (and converting people to our biscotti!) in southern CA
Last year we gave away just under TWO TONS of cookies/broken bits & pieces to various events around the Bay Area. (1ton=2000lbs, for those looking for a quick conversion)
Why am I telling you that?
It's not because I want to be called by every non-profit under the sun for a donation -- I have more requests than I can handle, thanks :-)
But I do want you to be aware that in good times and in tough times we all have to do our part to be good community members -- we have to support non-profits (they are really hurting -- so many of them have seen their endowments shrink along with their donations). We have to give of ourselves -- whether it's time or in-kind donations -- it's not just about writing a check. Connect with a cause. Do something!
If we don't then who will be there to help those in trouble, who will educate our kids, beautify our environment, provide arts & sport/instruction & cultural enrichment? I could go on and on . . .
So -- I'll make a deal with you.
Buy my cookies.
Support Crunchy Foods - Biscotti di Suzy.
When you see our cookies at Whole Foods, Andronico's or Mollie Stone's or your favorite independent gourmet grocer -- or behind the counter at Beach Blanket Babylon or Caffe Nefeli or Cafe Roma on Bryant Street -- buy them.
Tell your favorite coffee shop they should stock our biscotti. That we're worth supporting.
And we'll be around to support AIDS Walk, Children's Hospital (Oakland & UCSF), Special Olympics, the New Bridge Foundation, the Last Mile Foundation, UNCF, The Links, the SF Zoo Fest, St. Vincent de Paul, etc.......
Thanks
