Here we are at Sentry Hy. 100 and National for our Family to Family Thanksgiving "Live Drive" to help provide a great Thanksgiving meal for those less fortunate families around us.Click here to donate online
This is Tyler, and he was here shopping with his mom and sister. His favorite part of Thanksgiving are the drumsticks. Mine is stuffing and gravy.
This is Elizabeth, Benjamin, and Nathan (I'm pointing at him, he's a corn and carrots kid) who had their mom bring them in from Brookfield to make a donation for Family to Family Thanksgiving.
Jane from Aurora Family Service explains how they don't just give food to families in need, but also follow up to find out other areas that they can offer assistance in.
Carly from St. Alphonsus school drops off the donation from the chore-drive
For 11 years the Dept. 56 collectors club of Milwaukee has made a donation and this year is no different.
Another annual donor, and our largest to date, is Quarles and Brady, brought by $12,000! Laurie and Dayle tell us they've given over $99,000 over the years.
Kathy from Deloitte dropped by their annual donation, this year nearly $4,000! They've been with our program for 10 years.

Hey!
I noticed that over the last several months you blogged often about Cool
Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet - the innovative public art project in
Chicago that represented simple solutions to global warming. Starting
Monday, November 26 for one week only, select large and mini-globes from the
Cool Globes exhibit in Chicago will be auctioned to raise funds for the
Chicago Conservation Corp Clubs, which provide environmental education
opportunities for Chicago’s youth.
Among the globes to be auctioned are mini-globes from:
* Bill Clinton
* Robert Redford
* David Schwimmer
* Tobey Maguire
* Eva Mendes
* Rob Corddry
* Jenny Lennon and the cast of “Reno 911”
* Magic Johnson
* Dave Winfield
* Chicago Bear Tommie Harris
* Tony Bennett
* BB King
* Heather Headley
* The Gypsy Kings
The auction will take place online, hosted by eBay, so that even those who
don't live in or around Chicago can make an offer. You can view globes or
place a bid in the online auction at www.coolglobes.org.
I thought your blog readers might be interested in learning more. Please
feel free to reply with any questions and I hope you'll consider writing
about this. Thanks!
