Drive-A-Thon III Update, no. 1

Ground Control made its first contact with Burger One at 7:43 a.m., right around the time our valiant road warriors were passing Kalamazoo.  On board were co-captains Arye Zacks and Gil Stebbins, pilot Larry Winer, Aaron Kleid and Jerry Eizen.  While Arye and Gil were making their third trip and Larry and Aaron their second, Jerry is on his maiden voyage aboard Burger One. 

 

Liftoff was at 5:50, twenty minutes after the scheduled time.  Gil was late for the second year in a row.  Gil is now apparently hiding in shame in Burger One’s rear quarters.  He also might just be sleeping.  We’re not quite sure what he’s doing back there.

 

Jerry made sure that there would be ample provisions for the troops and brought donuts.  Aaron brought entertainment in the form of his X-Box, but forgot to bring the device that connects the X-Box to the television.  The others have apparently been pelting Aaron with the donuts as punishment for this egregious error.

 

Larry is valiantly guiding Burger One along the treacherous path that is I-94, maintaining a steady speed of seventy miles per hour.

 

I would like to finish this update with thanks from all of us at Drive-A-Thon III to all of you who have given to this worthy cause.  Special thanks go to the event’s sponsors, Lighting Supply Company, Simon Kresch, Gabi Grossbard, Bill Berlin and Eddie Katz, whose donations defrayed the expenses.  Due to their generosity, all proceeds after the meat purchases will go directly to Hazon Yeshaya.
