I remember growing up in the projects of NY and these summer programs were not only a Godsend for our grandmother, but it was a wonderful experience for us!

Not only do I love how your family...Hi Courtney - <br /><br />Not only do I love how your family is involved, but what a great example to set for your children to learn compassion and to give back. A dear friend of mine works for Share Our Strength and her tireless commitment is amazing. <br /><br />Quick funny story - a few years ago at camp, the little restaurant was closed (unscheduled), and we had to rely on our packed lunches only. I quietly explained the situation to Stepson and we divided up our lunch to share with the family who didn't pack a lunch. And in his precious and innocent loud child voice, "we're sharing our lunch because they are poor and can't afford lunch." Um... no... the restaurant was closed and they didn't have backup but glad you get it kiddo!<br /><br />Thanks to you and your family for all you do to help your community.<br /><br />Hugs, HollyHollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07091408321436324540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6594789353434997801.post-32041272159575345702014-07-24T00:07:43.018-04:002014-07-24T00:07:43.018-04:00Hi, Tamera!

Aren't three full meals necessary?!?!<br /><br />There is absolutely no way that I'd be able to chase after S and K all day *and* accomplish my other tasks if I didn't eat three -- who am I kidding? -- it's more like four or five meals a day...and I still run out of energy...<br /><br />Thank you for taking the time to comment, Tamara, and congrats, again, on your second SITS!<br /><br />xoCourtney Conoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09013736069363113895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6594789353434997801.post-20040588552655307662014-07-23T23:41:25.127-04:002014-07-23T23:41:25.127-04:00This is so awesome.

The air was full of laughter and positive vibes and it made my day to be a part of it.<br /><br />Keep up the great work & thanks again for all of your support!Stacy A - Gleaners Community Food Banknoreply@blogger.com
