<table cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' border='0' ><tr><td valign='top' style='font: inherit;'>Hey Neighbors!<br><br>There was talk earlier this year about organizing folks to bring snacks to our public servants just to say 'thank you'. I dropped the ball for awhile, and when I picked it up a smart person suggested Labor Day (or the day after)<br><br>Labor Day is the first of Sept, and <span style="font-style: italic;">we leave for China to adopt our daughter on the 3rd!</span> But what I want to contribute is a spicy almond that I make that people really love, and I can make those in advance.<br><br>I called the police dept and they have 4 shifts. To get everyone we'd need to bring stuff in the morning, then after 5, on 2 days. I assume the fire station works about the same way; does anyone know?<br><br>What we need are folks to put together fruit salad, or a fruit tray, to bake or buy some pastry, or maybe do a cheese and
cracker tray. It'd be nice if we could have two plates each - fruit and cheese and crackers, fruit and cookies, etc. Or hec, I'm sure they'd be happy with just some cookies. The important thing is that we say 'thank you'. I can make a batch of almonds for each shift. Mmmmm, grapes, almonds, cookies. YEAH!!<br><br>We need about 10 - 20 people, depending on what each person can do - and someone who can deliver. I can do some of the delivery, say on Tuesday after Labor Day, but obviously I'll be a bit busy!! <br><br>I'll take what I can get but hope many of you respond. I know someone out there makes one MEAN apple pie.... : ) Just no spinach, OK people? Let's be sensitive to each other's bias!! : )<br><br>Write me back!!<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Nancy<br><br></td></tr></table><br>
