Roar of the Crowd - Los Angeles
By Jim McCarthy

You're still here?

In the office, I mean. This is ditch-day-USA, people! Anybody still in the office after 1 or 2 should be assumed to have plans to Xerox their various body parts once everyone else leaves. If you don't want your co-workers mentally putting you in that creepy category, you better get your grocery list together and hit the streets!

But before you do, I want to call your attention to something other than either the prospect of that dude from accounts payable sitting on the copy machine or the long line at Honeybaked Ham for the 2 gallon Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes. Which are good.

Instead, I want to ask you to support an organization in Pasadena called Union Station, which plans to feed a few thousand homeless and impoverished people on Thursday. For the third year, Goldstar Events is working with Union Station to give its members an easy way to do something to support a great organization without leaving your desk.

Just go to our website and buy a full Thanksgiving dinner for a family of 5 for just $10. If you're so inclined, buy a whole lot of them. This is one of the very biggest Thanksgiving dinners in Southern California, so the help is really appreciated.

So before you shut down your email and web browser, take two more minutes to do a simple thing that's going to have a big impact on someone else's holiday!

Then leave. Your boss already snuck out five minutes ago.

Happy Thanksgiving,
Jim McCarthy
CEO, Goldstar Events
