Culinary Charities: Celebrity Chefs Making A Difference
Today I spent some time at what some call the “Longest Shortest Parade”. The parade on Balboa Island has thousands of people in it and thousands who watch it, but it’s just 2 blocks long…
GCHope is a selected charity of the Culinary Charities and they have a big foodie event coming up on August 8 & 9 with celebrity food chef, Guy Fieri. So the founder of the Culinary Charities, Grace Penney, asked if I would assist. I showed up and we marched in the parade wearing aprons and chef hats and passing out flyers for the event. It was a beautiful day and later Grace and I headed to Laguna where we caught up over lunch and enjoyed the weather and art of this fine city.
For those of you that don’t know, GCHope, like everyone else, is struggling in the economy. We recently took a 20% paycut but the needs of whom we serve have risen. We’re trying to figure out how to do more with less. So when the going gets tough you take it to the streets. Did this prove to sell tickets, who knows? I sure hope so, it will be a fun event! I di know that we have a lot of kids who are counting on us to help. So when all else fails, pick up a chef hat, put on your apron and march in the parade!
