Preview Properties has a Community Service Committee that meets to choose various charities for whom we raise money. Every month is a new community group. Fundraisers vary, but the most popular is either a breakfast or lunch, pot luck style, where agents and staff bring in a dish, then pay to eat!
Tomorrow, Tuesday, January 25th, the beneficiary is the Oakland Livingston Human Services Agency's (OLHSA) 'Walk For Warmth' campaign. And the food theme is 'Chili Cookoff'. This is a favorite of mine. Not to brag (too much), but I won the last chili cookoff. 1st out of 9 entries was pretty good for me. Plus I got to rub it in to an agent buddy that is pretty darned proud of his chili. It's all in good humor and of course, the money raised goes to a great cause.
I'll be making my special 'Sweetwater Chili' recipe today because it is slow cooked for a long time and is even better the next day. No matter how I fare this year, Walk for Warmth will certainly win.
And speaking of that program, Erica Karfonta, Director of OLHSA, will be the guest speaker at this Thursday's Brighton Optimist Club Meeting. Erica is coming to talk to us about that program specifically. The Optimists do wonderful things for the youth in the County, but they also support a lot of other community service and charitable organizations, too.
If you're interested, feel free to pop in to the Bauery Restaurant at Mt. Brighton at 7:30 am this Thursday, January 27th. First time visitors get their breakfasts free. The Brighton Optimists have an ambitious roster of activities to complete this year and are always looking for like minded residents to join in and help.
