Crop Walk 2009

Chase and I are proud to report that we were able to raise $370 and 175 pounds of food for the Crop Walk this year. Combined with what our church raised, we got to $976.

Chase made flyers for the Communications department at FSU and flyers for our neighborhood. We mistakenly placed the flyers for the neighborhood inside the mailboxes. At the time, we didn't realize that it was a federal crime. But now we know and were pretty embarrassed that it wasn't obvious from the start that it would be illegal to deliver your own mail without paying the postal service. That's like an "America's stupidest criminals" type of action. Thankfully, no one turned us in or arrested us.

Despite our faux pas, we were able to collect quite a bit of food for local food banks and money for international efforts. Then we participated in a three mile hunger walk. I was under the impression that it was one mile. I got suckered into a three mile walk. But our group found a short cut and cut it down a little. We're horrible little philanthropists. ;-)
