Happy Friday! 

I hope that everyone had a productive week.  We completed a couple of projects that were very satisfying, I thank God for his Blessings upon our company.  As we wind down the work week and prepare for our weekly battles with the lawn, garden and paint brush, we undoubtedly have to make time to run to the grocery store.  When you do your shopping this week, please consider the plight of millions of children in this country.  In Virginia, over 14% of the school age children in the state, do not have enough food to eat on a daily basis.    Our good friend Chris Kettner, host of the radio program “The Specialist” has launched a food drive to help stock a local food pantry.  When I appeard as a guest on his show in March, I promised him that I would assist him in his goal. 

So, my valued friends and business associates, I am asking that while you travel the aisles of your favorite grocery store, would you consider making a purchase of a bag of rice, a case of ramen noodles, pasta, or any other non-perishable food item and donate it to Chris’ cause?   If you are in Hampton Roads, call me and I’ll come by and pick it up.  If you live outside this region, take it to your local food pantry, church or synagogue or homeless shelter.  If we each spend a little, we can accomplish a lot.

Thanks.
