Mountain-Con III Food Bank charity drive
I just received this from Carl Stark, the chair of Mountain-Con. Please help out the food bank by participating in this.
Please feel free to pass this onto any other mailing lists or message boards.
One of the best things about organized fandom is giving back to the community. It could be the Browncoats organizing a screening for a charity, Toys-for-Tots collections from the Star Wars fans, the Star Trek clubs participating in the Adopt-a-Highway or more. Here at Mountain-Con, we want to continue the charity events at the annual convention. Starting with this year we've adopted a new charity to continue on an annual basis.
In today's (Sunday 8-19-07) Morning Deseret News, there was an article talking about how food supplies at the Utah Food Bank are running low. http://deseretnews.com/article
We are issuing a challenge to each club and fan. Bring in a canned food item and get a discount at the convention. Each club can set up a collection box and the club that brings in the most donations will win a trophy. The trophy will then be brought back the next year for another food drive competition.
As a fan, you can submit your donation to the club that impresses you the most. Different clubs will have booths and room parties at the convention.
Let me know if you have any questions. Looking forward to the convention.
Carl Stark, Convention Chair
