Friday the 13th "Good Luck" of the Draw

[Riceberry]

Our inaugural "Good" Luck of the Draw was Friday night at Zack's Place, December 13th. Due to the response to this event we anticipate another June 13, 2014.

Thanks to all who came out and supported the "Good" Luck of the Draw and faced Friggatriskaidekaphobia (fear of Friday the 13th). We had a great crowd on hand and most everyone brought a few non-perishable food items to donate to Arkansas Food Bank as well as a few cash donations. In all you brought in 178 pounds of food plus $120 in donations, the LRDA also donated $100 to this worthy cause. We were informed by Arkansas Food Bank that this one event contributed to providing between 700 and 800 meals.

Great job LRDA this is a real testament to the kindness and generosity of our members and we appreciate everyone involved in this event from planning to organizing to attending and showing that you care!

We would like to point out that of the cash donations made there was a single donation of $100 by one of our members. At first we thought this was a mistake and tried to return it thinking the wrong denomination was pulled out in the dim smoky light of Zack's Place but were assured this was the contribution they wished to make. It may not appropriate to publish the name here but if you know this person please take time to thank them for their kind act and maybe buy them a drink - they certainly deserve it.
