A $20 Cookie for Katrina Victims
Here is how I just paid $20 for a chocolate chip cookie:
- Sara Ford works here at Microsoft
- She grew up in Waveland, MS which was hit by hurricane Katrina
- Her parents house was flooded and the entire community needs help
- Sara decided to help
- MSNBC contacted her about it
- MSNBC then went and interviewed her parents
- Sara is now collecting clothing and donations in one of our cafeterias from fellow Microsoft employees (like me), which she and her husband will deliver next week to Waveland.
- That’s where I bought a cookie for $20. Sara and her friends tried to have me take more than one cookie, but I resisted the urge so that others could donate and get a cookie too.
Ahh, the power of blogs: I had never met Sara before today. I had never heard of Waveland, MS before this. I do have a weak spot for chocolate chip cookies though. [:)]
