Drive A Thon 3

As many of you know, we are getting ready for Drive A Thon 3. In the past we have raised money to help terror victims, and over the two previous Drive A Thons we raised almost $6000.

As the terrorism wanes, we have shifted our focus to helping the hungry, many of whom have seen economic opportunities dry up in the wake of the terror war of the past five years. The proceeds from the event will be going to Hazon Yeshaya, the largest food assistance program in Israel. (For more information on Hazon Yeshaya, you can go to www.hazonyeshaya.org

The Drive A Thon is in Wednesday, June 8, just in time for Shavuos. We will be going to Romanian and Ken's Diner in Chicago.

For those of you who have never participated in the Drive A Thon, here is how it works.

The MNFBBQ drive from Detroit to Chicago and back in one day. Through our efforts, we raise money through mile sponsors and matching orders to Romanian, which are explained below. Orders are available for pick up on Wednesday evening at the Young Israel of Oak Park.

There are two ways to participate.

A) Sponsor us per mile that we drive to Chicago. For every 5 cents that you sponsor us ($30 for the round trip), we will bring you one free Burger Buddy.

B) Use the Romanian order form, and order your favorite salami, hot dogs and pastrami from the legendary butcher shop. Everything you order needs to be matched by your Tzedakah contribution. For example, if you order $50 worth of food, we will need a $100 check, which covers both the food and the Tzedakah.

If you live outside the Detroit area and would like to sponsor miles, we will be happy to eat your Burger Buddy at Ken's Diner, and send you a picture of your delectable treat. If you would like to send us a check for this great cause, you can send me an email at mnfbbq@yahoo.com and I will give you our mailing information.

This is the last week you can get your order in for the Drive A Thon. We need to have our orders in by Sunday night, June 5.

Thank you for your support of this great cause.

The Maalot Rambam shul is very disappointed in the decision to feed poor people instead of help build our women's section. The MNFBBQ club, of all clubs should understand the need to keep women in a separate location during events such as davening and football.

We do support hungry people eating though.
