Many thanks to Common Grounds, Tri Townsend, Frank and Doug Potvin for allowing us to join them in their outreach efforts at SU today. And thanks too, for the two coupons they allowed us to put on our flyer. Many thanks too, to Karen Townsend for baking nearly 650 chocolate chip cookies that we gave out. Thanks also, to Titus Zan, Joe Woo, Christopher and Mikalah Potvin, Belinda White, Emma Hutchison, Brittany Gosnell, Kevin and Tami Brown, Walt Townsend for helping to pass out cookies and flyers. We had a successful day!
It was interesting, though, we were located between Golliath and David. McDonalds was there serving a small 2 oz size of McCafe and Common Grounds was there generously giving away a 9 oz smoothie in two flavors and a 12 oz Mocha latte! And the pictures tell the story... The lines at Common Grounds was almost always 10 plus deep and often more like 20 and McDonalds line was short. We even joked with a friend of mine who was there with a booth, he kept going to McDonalds and when I fussed at him... he would always say... "there is no line!"
I pray that today's efforts will be a blessing to Common Grounds and to CoJ and that many lives will be touched with the acts of generousity that abounded today!
p.s. The last picture is one of the McDonald's marketing guys who sheepish came over to ask Doug if he could have a strawberry smoothy!
