Ninth Annual Bin 2 Bin 2 Bin Run and Walk

For the Food Bank today, we did our 9th Annual Bin 2 Bin Run and Walk.   We started with a little problem though, when we discovered that the Food Bank had not been around to put out their donation barrels.  Store employees seemed slightly confused when we asked them if they could hold on to some donated food items for the Food Bank, but eventually figured out that we meant them no harm and were not trying to rob the store or whatever.  I think the Food Bank dropped the ball by not having their barrels out during this week before Thanksgiving.

It was 44 degrees at our start, with just a slight amount of smoke in the air.  The smoke was from the Paradise "Camp Fire", California's worst fire ever.  We've been very fortunate here on the coast but are deeply saddened for all of the fire victims.

Thank you, John, for today's photos.  John was with us today, along with:  Joe, Charlene, Nancy B., Rick, Nancy T., Roger, Bob, Healdsburg Tony, Nancy and Tom (12).

I hope that you are available on the 16th for our annual Pot Luck Breakfast and Cookie Exchange.  It will be at Tom and Nancy's this year.  You can bring any kind of breakfast item and if you wish to participate in the cookie exchange, a plate of cookies.
