Ok Nassau County, great job! In the middle of a rainstorm and with only 2 weeks of promotion, we did a good job of feeding some of our neighbors. Here's the recap:

• Approximately 30 pounds of food was collected
• $42 dollars was raised (according to Island Harvest $1 provides 2 meals)

Please note on the monetary donations $25 was in a check written directly to Island Harvest, which I will mail out to them tomorrow and $17 was cash donations.  I will be pocketing the cash and making the exact amount donation online using my personal debit card under the name Jeff Namnum (correction 11/15/09 - I had my wife make the donation to save some time; it's under the name Ruby Namnum).

Much thanks to the amazing folks at Panera RVC, especially the GM Richard Balsam who was kind enough to offer to hold our donations until Island Harvest comes to pick up their Thanksgiving donation.

Please remember there are 2 more events left, on Saturday in Hampton Bays and on Sunday in Happauge.  If you can spare some time, stop by and drop off a donation.  If you can't make either one, keep on eye on this space, we will announce a way to help Island Harvest online.

I am very proud to be a Long Islander tonite.
