Hey everyone,

 

On Saturday, June 7th CORPS has another event planned. 

 

Working with Share Our Strength, CORPS will be hosting Houston's version of the GREAT AMERICAN BAKE SALE. 

100% of the profits go to organizations that help to fight child hunger across the country.  Money raised is put into grant programs for after-school and summer-time programs that help provide food for children. 

 

What we need are baked goods.  Anyone willing to put together a baked item or two, please feel free to do so and let me know (email me at brad@hopeactionchange.org).  We will be setting up the Bake Sale outside of the historic Heights Theater on 19th street in Houston.  The date chosen corresponds with Heights First Saturday, a monthly event set-up in the Heights that brings in heavy foot-traffic along 19th street. 

 

In addition, we will have a voter registration table set-up for passerby's that need to register to vote or update their registrations.  We will be wearing our CORPS gear and showing that Obama volunteers are working to help out a variety of causes. 

 

So what we need are people willing to put together some baked items - cookies, cakes, cupcakes, muffins, etc.  If you know of any businesses that might be willing to donate any of these items, it never hurts to ask! 

 

By June 7th Senator Obama should have the nomination pretty-well sewn up, so this event will also be a good visibility event to try to begin extending olive branches to any Clinton-supporters we might encounter. 

 

Thanks everyone.
