Food Drive update: Sales by 5 is AWESOME

My group at school has already brought in 190lbs of food towards the food drive. Tonight, my sister's soccer, the Lady Cyclones committed to bringing 7lbs each. There are 12 members = 84 lbs.
We will collect on Sunday after the soccer game and during the next two practices.

My mom gave me some great news today after school. Her friends, who she met through twitter, are going to allow their office space as a donation location. The wonderful place is Sales by 5. She is hoping tomorrow we can pick something up tomorrow at their Pity Party. At least I hope so. Anyway, the players at Sales by 5 are

• Erik Darmstetter, CEO, follow him on twitter here
• Nan Palmero, CIO, follow him on twitter here and his wife Ashley, a wedding photographer here (see Mom's blog post on Ashley) and their dog Clunkers Palmero. (I know, lots of twitter)
• Kya - the brand evangelist
• Bobby Freeman

These folks are on twitter, so be sure to follow them. I hope to meet them tomorrow at the pity party to pick up the first round of food. I know it is last minute, but please consider attending the pity party and giving up some non perishable food.

The Sales by 5 office is located at 85 N.E. Loop 410, Suite 218, San Antonio, TX 78216

Thank you Erik!

Help me on my food drive

Hi, My name is Alex, the oldest child of Jennifer and Jaz. As my community service project, I want to expand on our JROTC at John Jay High School. We are required to raise 7 lbs of food. I am hoping through social media (my mother is a social media junkie) I can raise so much more.

I am asking all you out there to each donate 7lbs of food. My parents have agreed to drive me around and pick them up and we are working on a couple of donation stations. I have a twitter account, but haven't used it yet. Look for me soon. I will also be on my facebook page and trying to hack my mother account to get more donations. If you can help. Please contact us through twitter. Here is my twitter. or my mom's twitter. You can also call my mom at A Regal Affair: 210.563.6705 or email jennifer at regalaffair dot com. My deadline is the end of the month. I hope to be able to do weekly pick ups.

Thank you in advance. I will be blogging more often. Updating donation stations and recommended donation items.
