19 at lunch today including the guest and the past Lt Gov Glen Behm. Glen was close by and just came as a Kiwanian and being lucky had his ticket called for $5, Donna C won the attendance pick of the day. Marsh Eddleman Director of Development for the Samaritan House talked about the Neighbor helping Neighbor program that provides food, shelter, health care, clothing, Holiday assistance to people in need totally free. This help is offered to individuals and families and also includes food and shelter to those workers you see on street corners waiting for day jobs. The program is impressive and has thousands of volunteers. Meals prepared each year amount to 125,000. Food of course is provided by local markets and by one of our projects, the 2nd Harvest food Bank, so do your part on the next food bank call. Marsha gave out a folder thick with info on the program and the list of volunteers needed, donation envelope and a very well done 10 minute dvd on the program. If you wish to see more click here to visit their web site. The headquarters is located on Claremont street in San Mateo, and have medical clinics on 39th as well as in Redwood city, other services are provided in other locations thru-out the county. I urge you to call 650.341.4081 to offer your support and see if there any volunteer positions you can fill.
