Florida 2006 – Palm Tree Villa

We flew down to Tampa from Boston this morning, rented a Chrysler Pacifica (a MINI van in disguise) and drove to Palm Tree Villa near DisneyWorld, Orlando. The home is big with two king size bedrooms, two bathrooms, two more bedrooms, and kitchen / lounge / dining area (also an outside screened-in pool)!

Cape Ann Food Pantry “Empty Bowl”

Posted on May 11, 2006February 20, 2017 by Ian C.

Just before our flight to Florida, I helped once again with the Cape Ann Food Pantry Empty Bowl – this year 800 people visited and, including donations prior to the event, over $18,000 was raised!
The Empty Bowl tries to educate people to the plight of the “food insecure”, encouraging a donation in return for a decorated empty bowl, and a meal of soup & bread. The bowls are created by local artisans and decorated by them, by the public, or by local celebraties.
