Spirit of the season
A shoutout to Jennifer Burton, who is one of our page designers and who organizes a bake sale in the newsroom every year to raise money for Urban Ministry. People in the newsroom -- Journalists? Cooking? Uh-oh -- donated homemade and store-bought cookies, breads, pies, brownies, fudge and, even doggie snacks. The food was piled high on a couple of tables in the newsroom and everything was priced to sell.
(I brought brownies, but, fearing that my efforts would be deemed insufficient -- journalists are nothing if not insecure -- I supplemented them with some timely purchases at Cheesecakes by Alex.)
Jennifer's report: "In about 9 hours, we raised $600 for Greensboro Urban Ministry’s food bank. That far exceeds our total from last year (and it's gone up every year since we started this!). The bake sale would not be so successful without everyone’s generosity. It makes me proud that we are making a difference."
Me, too.
The bake sale is over, but you can still participate in the giving.
