Re: [Mpls] Thank you, Susan!
Thank you everyone for coming yesterday! (Michelle and Peter, thanks for your kind notes.) It was gratifying to see that Lucille's was so busy. I saw a flyer posted that listed a man's name if you wanted to help Lucille's. Can anyone provide that name and phone number and post it on the list? Or send it to me offlist and I'll post it. Props to Peter for walking the walk and making a donation to Lucille's. Don't know how much it was, but Lucille herself came over to thank him. Other ways to help: order a meal, schedule a lunch party, spread the word to as many people as you can. Susan Maricle formerly of Folwell Bruno MN __ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

Re: [Mpls] Thank you, Susan!
Michelle Gross says: Thank you, Susan Maricle, for setting up the gathering at Lucille's Kitchen today. I stopped by to get takeout and just to meet folks. The food was terrific and the company was even better. The fact that Susan drove all the way from Bruno, MN to be there makes her efforts all the more appreciated. Lucille's was packed to the rafters and a lot of who's who among the community were there, including Carol Johnson and, of course, Annie Young, who was at our table. There was a good-sized line of folks getting take out orders. I leaned over to the owner at the counter and said "you're not really going to close down, are you?" He replied, "Naw, we're not closing." I asked him if that was the official word and he said not yet, but they were sure they could figure out how to keep things going. Thanks again, Susan, for putting together the gathering. It was lovely to meet the folks who were there. Peter Schmitz responds: I'd like to extend my thanks to Susan as well. I also would like to call on list members to make a donation to Lucille's Kitchen. Minneapolis cannot afford to let this place go. Would it be that difficult for concerned citizens and civic leaders to raise $30,000.00 on behalf of this important enterprise? Think about it. If 300 of us contribute $100.00 each, that covers the current debt. Or how about scaling down to where 600 of us contribute $50.00 a piece? While $100.00 or $50.00 may sound like a lot, I know people who've paid twice as much to see second-rate musicians like Cher and Justin Timberlake.--Peter Schmitz CARAG REMINDERS: 1.

[Mpls] Thank you, Susan!
I hope the list manager and members will indulge me one extra posting today since I'll be away from my computer for the most part tomorrow, dealing with a family medical issue.
