Food Drive at the March Chapter Meeting

The March Phoenix Chapter meeting falls on the 14th, which happens to coincide with a full moon. Our chapter has had a tradition of holding one or two food drives during the year, and I thought we might throw some fun into this one. I traditionally contribute a larger some of my charity donations to hunger causes, so I thought I would tie the two events together.

At our March registration table will be a pot. For every registrant who howls at the full moon, I will contribute a dollar toward hunger causes. If the registrant would rather not perform this full moon tradition, they may contribute two dollars to the food drive pot and my friend and former chapter president Tim Eull will howl at the full moon. For more information on our Fun SIG activities, see the November issue of Tieline (PDF).

Due to economies of scale, operating efficiencies, and generous in-kind donations, food banks can distribute as much as $13 worth of food for every $1 of operating expenses! 

Checks
Make the check out to United Food Bank , St. Mary's Food Bank, or Northern Arizona Food Bank and bring it to the March 14 meeting or mail it to the address below. Thank you!
