I don't know if you've ever heard the joke about the mice that go to heaven. Well, it seems that they were good mice and Saint Peter decided to grant them a wish. They ended up asking for roller skates since they had spent their entire life on earth scurrying around trying to avoid getting caught. Later on, a cat makes it to heaven (of course!) and after a few days he runs into Saint Peter who asks him how he likes heaven. The cat replies that it's better than expected and he really loves the Meals On Wheels. I know....that's the only kind of "good mice", but that's another joke.
Anyway, I heard two of my friends telling the joke in the lobby today and I started thinking about how lucky I am that I don't have to worry about food anymore since I moved in here. (In fact, I have two food bowls in the building so I'm never far from a treat!) Patti (one of my Mom's) told me that one out of four older folks in Georgia always have to worry about their next meal! That's why we work so hard on our Meals On Wheels program. Not only are we always trying to improve the taste of the meals (they are D-licious!), we're always trying to get money to feed more older friends.
To help with this, SCI is hosting it's 2nd annual Miles for Meals 5k Race. The proceeds go directly to pay for meals for these hungry seniors. I'm not sure what a 5k race is, but if it involves food...I'm there! Won't you join me? You can sign up on our website.
