[Events] Charity Recommendation - Annual Feinstein Challenge/Catholic Foo...

Sat Feb 23 10:50:25 EST 2013

Alice.......I believe AVET is chosen, but please do not tell them until  
Matt NYE has verified ...he may need to speak with their leader and get an  
official letter from them accepting the terms and conditions of the event and 
a  release from them from a legal standpoint. Please work directly with Matt 
 first.....Thanks.....John

I may have missed something, but  has the charity been chosen????   Would 
sure like to hear.   Will be working with the vets on Sunday, and would like 
to tell them if their  group was selected! Thanks,  Alice

I hope you all will look at the attachments and read the facts  about this 
great and worthy organization!

Why  is Feinstein, a Jew, supporting a Catholic charity? Seems odd in 
itself.   Just curious.

Alice  thanks for the cheer leading for AVET Project :)

Recently our  AVET Project counselor has been talking with some troops who 
have returned  from WAR and having a hard time, so we are organizing Retreat 
for these  warriors, plus we have Care Packages ready to ship out to our 
troops, to help  lift their spirits. 

Did you know ....Troops Suicide is now 22 a day  for our returning 
warriors.  Never before has our military asked so much  from our warriors. 

March 25 the National Guard 715th MP Co. will be  deploying for the 3rd 
time on a  one year deployment.

AVET Project does not take any Federal  Grants and nobody receives a pay 
check.

Appreciate any help for our  Military family who give us the FREEDOM to 
make these choices :) 

Check  out our AVET Project, Inc. FB page and see some of the warriors we 
have and  are working with.
Marty Gonzalez was just on the Military Channel, PBS, and  Soldier Hard on 
MSNBC (again, I keep sending info to FOX), NPR, CNN, and our  local 
920th/308th we work with will be on the National Geographic  tonight.

There is no reason we couldn't  offer them a booth or suggest that people 
bring a food item to donate to the  hungry....and that would still offer a 
one line mention in the press releases,  etc.    But my vote still goes whole 
heartedly for the Avets  organization, because for the 'local' benefit of 
appealing to the vast  'military' living in our county.

We, as Brevardians, keep the Daily Bread and other  such places well 
funded, through grants and subsidies from various  churches.    I know my own 
Church supports them monetarily,  along with other homeless programs.

You are aware, I"m sure, that MANY strong, young,  able bodies are being 
fed and housed during the winter months while they are  surfing and basking in 
sun....and receiving their unemployment checks to their  northern 
addresses, because they happen to work in construction or other  fields which comes 
to a halt during winter months in places like MN, Mich,  Conn., N.Hamp., 
N.Y., etc.etc.

I live behind Ascension and see the cars in the  pkg.lot day and night.    
I know they have PLENTY MORE PEOPLE  THAN OUR LITTLE TEA PARTY GROUP TO 
APPEAL TO.

MY VOTE AND THE ONLY LOGICAL VOTE IS FOR THE  localVETS!

But I admire your 'conviction'.   We all  have churches, and some wealthy 
someone who needs a tax write off.  My  church sends $$$$$ all the time to 
Haiti and Africa, because my minister was  raised in Africa by parent 
missionaries.....and its a bottomless  hole.

Challenge/Catholic Food  Pantry

Good evening everyone,

Let  me throw a dark horse into the charity race.  This came from the  
Ascension Catholic Church bulletin this morning:  

Alan  Shawn Feinstein, for 15 years, has been giving away $1 million each 
year to  anti-hunger  agencies throughout the country. This year becomes the 
16th  annual fundraising event. Any donations you send to Social Concerns 
during  March  1st to April 30th will get Feinstein money from Rhode Island  
added to it.  And the more of a donation you send in, the more of the  
Feinstein $1 million we will get, thanks to you!  This is amazing!  Your donation 
toward this  campaign make you partners in the most successful ongoing 
effort ever to fight  hunger!!! We thank Mr. Feinstein for his generous heart and 
his determination  to stop hunger!  To expand on donations  from the 
community ... if you know of any school, community or ORGANIZATION that would like 
 to join in to help us with this challenge, it's simple: they can start a 
food collection and drop it off at our  pantry during March and April.  We 
can report each food item  donated as $1 per item or per pound! Donations can 
include CASH, CHECKS, and FOOD  ITEMS. It's that easy!

In  short, we offer a booth to the pantry at the Taste of Freedom.  If they 
 accept, they can collect the food cans on site.  If they do not accept  
the booth, we can deliver the cans for a great photo op and good press  
release.  Donations can be made by check to the pantry, which to my  knowledge is 
a 501 3c, so we never have to touch the money, or we can right  one big 
check afterwards.

I  can see the headlines now, "TEA Party's 'Taste of Freedom' feeds the 
hungry"  as we partner with a key organization in the fight against ObamaCare.  
 Not only is money collected, but food is collected for the local pantry, 
as  well as, a donation is given to the pantry by Mr. Feinstein.

AVET  would be my first pick because it would help out soldiers and 
veterans, like  myself.  However, there are huge political points to be won, 
locally and  nationally, if we can raise a lot of donations for our local 
pantries.  I  volunteer to spearhead the coordination between the pantry and our 
group, if  this charity is selected.

Currahee,

Eric  Hoppenbrouwer
