About 2 days before Thanksgiving 2007, John, my co-host and I made a pledge to use the forum we had on our radio show to help the community.

While on an airplane flying to California to do some consulting I read State by State stats on the number of children that are not guaranteed a meal for dinner each night. Right here in America! Since I am from Virginia I could not help but notice that 14.3% of all of Virginia’s children fell into that group. So we decided to step up and have a massive food drive. The goal for “The Specialist” was to collect as much food as possible as long as I am on the air.

Wednesday we will make our first delivery to an inner city church where it can be quickly distributed to needy people in that community. The GREAT news is that with everyone’s help, as of this writing we have already collected 3000 lbs. of food! We had a lot of great help from our terrific listeners! Just to mention a few of the great people and I am not going to give last names but a special thanks to Chris, Santea, Steve, Tom, Louis, and William. All of you know who you are and even though we have reached the first 3000 lbs. I am going to look to you all for a long time to come. Thanks again!
