MLK Potluck Reminder – “If you can’t feed a hundred people, then just feed one."

First Lady Michelle Obama asked us to spend this Saturday in service to others. I firmly believe that we should spend every day giving of ourselves to others. Author Jeff Warner once said, “we are not put on this earth for ourselves, but are placed here for each other. If you are there always for others, then in time of need, someone will be there for you.”

Tomorrow, Saturday, January 19 is an opportunity for you to join with the New Democrats at the Annual MLK Potluck Party and Canned Food Drive, hosted by Amelia and me at our home, 535 West 8th Street at 7:00 pm. It’s an opportunity for you to donate canned goods and other non perishables to one of our local food banks. It’s also an opportunity for you to socialize with friends and to meet some new people. Bring a dish to share.

Your donations maybe dropped off today at my door or you may bring them to the party. We look forward to a day of service and a day of giving. Amelia and I welcome you to our home. We make one simple request, in the words of Mother Teresa, “If you can't feed a hundred people, then just feed one.”

New Democrats Annual MLK Potluck Dinner and Canned Food Drive

Once again, Amelia and I will play host to the New Democrats Annual MLK Potluck Dinner and Canned Food Drive, at our home, 535 West 8th Street in Plainfield on Saturday January 19, 2013. This is an opportunity to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. King with friends, family and neighbors, while at the same time making a difference in the lives of the less fortunate among us. We encourage you to drop off your donations of canned goods and other non-perishable food items on our front porch for the entire week leading up to the day of the event. All donations will go to support the food bank at Shiloh Baptist Church, one of the most active food banks in the city of Plainfield.

This year we will also be celebrating the second inauguration of President Barack Obama and wishing him well as he leads the country through these very difficult economic times and back to prosperity. Bring a dish to share and some canned goods for a very worthy cause. The party begins at 7:00 pm on Saturday January 19, 2013 at 535 West 8th Street, Plainfield, NJ.

The New Democrats, Amelia, and I look forward to welcoming you and to having a good time with all as we collectively do for others as we would have them do for us.

Drop your canned goods and other non-perishables off on the front porch at 535 West 8th Street, any day, beginning today. Remember, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” 

God bless!
