11. Tender is the Night, F. Scott Fitzgerald 1 week ago

Great read. Read this while some girlfriends and I were in Cannes for my best friend’s wedding. Really fun reading a story that mentions places you’re visiting…just 80 odd years later…wow…80 years…what a strange/bittersweet idea to ruminate on. It really all is just that fleeting. :)

Have the canned food drive I'm in charge of be a wild success
HUGE SUCCESS!!! 6 months ago

One of the board members donated her beautiful new apt for the location, board members all brought a bottle of wine or an app and we invited all the members of the alumni assoc & had it open for friends as well—terrific time had by all!!! Entry = 5 dollars or 2 cans of food. I made a bunch of choc chip cookies, brownies, and caramels and packaged them up in take out boxes for raffle prizes. Entry into the raffle: add’l $5 or add’l 5 cans of food. And I donated a bottle of nice champagne, to go to the person who donated the most. We’ll definitely be doing this Wine Tasting/Canned Food Drive Event again next year—highly recommend!!!

End result: 150 lbs of food & $60 donated to the SF Food Bank!!!
