Doing Something Good

This is an idea my friend K-bro had, so I give her all the credit for this post (since it is from her blog!).  I just figured I’d re post it to try and help this cause.  Please go HERE to check out K-Bro’s blog.

Doing Something Good

I have made a decision. I’ve decided that I like Twins’ wins better than Twins’ losses. Ok, that’s not a recent decision, but I was reminded of this while unclinching my teeth as the Twins let yet another game slip away.

Now,
I’ve heard that baseball players are charitable guys, and I’m aware
that our boys are no different. So, with that in mind, I’ve decided to
implement a plan to give the guys a little more incentive.

Drum roll please….

For every Twins win during the month of September, I will donate two items
to a local food shelf. And not lame generic mac & cheese or cheap-o
ramen noodles either — good, nutritious food that I
would eat. (Actually, for the record, I love mac & cheese and ramen
noodles, but I wouldn’t want to depend on them for survival. I did that
in college — which was a very long time ago.)

And since the
Detroit Tigers are leading the division standings, it’s kind of fun to
see them lose. I want to encourage the teams playing them to keep them
from clinching the division as long as possible. So, for every Tigers’
loss, I will donate one food item. This part of the offer is good until
if and when the Twins are eliminated from the division race.

Won’t this be fun? Twins’ wins = 2 donated items; Tigers’ losses = 1 donated item. I invite you to join me in this plan.

So far this month:
Twins’ wins: 2
Tigers’ losses: 0
Total: 4 items

Ahem. We can do better than that, right? Let’s go, Twins!
