This is a shameless plug for something that I care about.  If you don't like helping people in need, stop reading here. 

I've been volunteering with Food Gatherers, the local food bank, for a couple of years now and I'm part of the Grillin' Silent Auction Committee.  What is Grillin' you ask.  It's one of Food Gatherers' big fundraising events.  It's happening this Sunday, June 14th, from 3-8 at the Washtenaw Farm Council Grounds.  Tickets are $50 if you buy them ahead of time and $45 of that is tax deductible.  It's a great event, there's a ton of great food from local restaurants, fun activities for kids provided by the Hands-on Museum, and live music.  Plus there's a fabulous silent auction with some really cool items that we're all pretty excited about.  And it helps a lot of people who need food.  I don't think I need to remind anyone that more people are in need this year because of the economy. 

Click here to find out more about the event and where to buy tickets.  I'll be there all day so stop by the auction area and say "hi!"
