Here at Groucho, we know that most of us do the things we do because of how it makes us feel. We're out there running/biking/swimming/whatever because it pushes our limits, ups our adrenaline, and makes us feels as if we are capable of anything - no mountain is too high, no obstacle too steep. Which is also why we're so passionate about giving back to our community. Whether it's through donating our time, skills, or resources, we've come to learn and cherish the value that comes from striving to be a building block to better communities. It does the same thing for us that athletics do - makes us feel as if we have the power the change the world.
The Second Harvest Heartland is a most excellent organization that fights to end hunger in our communities. Donating is easy - check out their list of most needed items, and you'll be as delightfully surprised as we were to see that most of these things are already sitting in our pantry and closets. And so, instead of just bringing the good times and holiday cheer to our Groucho Happy Hour at the Lyndale Tap House on Friday, December 10, we'll also be bringing an armful of goods and some big ol' boxes for any donations that any of you out there might want to make, too.
Sidenote: Did you RSVP yet? What, you got something better to do at 5:30 on a Friday? You don't, do you? Quit playin' and RSVP - we want you there. We will accept you there. We will introduce you to other fun, high attractive people there, and won't even whisper embarrassing stories about you in their ears when you walk away to get another drink. Yeah, you don't get that promise from other people very often, do you, buddy? That's why you wanna come to this Happy Hour.
Whether or not you can make a donation, it doesn't matter - we understand that times are tough for everyone out there, and we want you there regardless. But if you have the means to do so, we hope that you'll join us in furthering the holiday spirit by supporting families in need.
Do it for the kids, man.
