Ed,
Thanks for your kind note. If you'll dump a little change into "mine", I will dump a little change into "yours". I just think it's way to help these folks feel that somebody has noticed what they are doing and is aware of what has happened to them. Thanks, Nick Nicholas Thompson Emeritus Professor of Ethology and Psychology Clark University <mailto:thompnicks...@gmail.com> thompnicks...@gmail.com <https://wordpress.clarku.edu/nthompson/> https://wordpress.clarku.edu/nthompson/ From: Friam <friam-boun...@redfish.com> On Behalf Of Steven A Smith Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2020 12:29 PM To: friam@redfish.com Subject: Re: [FRIAM] Fundraiser by Christina Z. : Ohoris Staff Relief Fund Nick - Thanks for the link. Ohori's is not my goto, but I'm 100% with the spirit. I have had no traction on trying to extend this kind of help TO my regular go-tos. I am of a mind that at the very least, my weekly *tip* budget could go straight into the same pockets it used to with no harm to me... and as you point out, my entire luxury food/services budget could go that way as well. I'll check for other go-fund-me's in SFe and would love to hear from others who have discovered similar to yours here. - Steve To The Mother Church, As you know, I am addicted to coffee and particularly to coffee houses, and particularly to Ohori's-next-to-Kaune's, where I like to loll in the sunshine of a late afternoon like the flea-bitten old dog that I am. Over the years I have come to befriend and greatly admire the Barista's of Santa Fe. They remind me of graduate students. Many of them are using barista work to make possible independent scholarship, artistic careers, and musical careers, pursued for the sheer love of it. So when the virus hit in March and many of them lost work, I tried to set up some sort of a fund to help them. But not being gig-economy type, I couldn't see how to do it. Now, to my delight, one of the workers has set up a gofundme site. https://www.gofundme.com/f/ohoris-staff-relief-fund?utm_source=customer <https://www.gofundme.com/f/ohoris-staff-relief-fund?utm_source=customer&utm _medium=copy_link-tip&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet> &utm_medium=copy_link-tip&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet I am hoping that those of you who have shared my pleasure in dealing with these young folks will make some sort of a donation, if only as a token of your support. I am figuring it this way: I am saving about 7 - 10 dollars a day in latte's and zucchini bread (AND lost three pounds). I figure that savings ought to go to them. It would be a great kindness to me if you would pitch in. All the best, Nick .-. .- -. -.. --- -- -..-. -.. --- - ... -..-. .- -. -.. -..-. -.. .- ... .... . ...
