Minutes of the Regular 1VIeeting of Council Monday, March 17, 2014 Page 2 Hanover to go along with the pizza. Our fourth week will be Mitchell's Fine Chocolates in Cleveland Heights. We carry that at Heinen's as well. Our final week will end with Stone Oven on Lee Road in Cleveland Heights. We carry their breads. They are going to be doing pastries. Our first week with Euclid Beach yielded $367. This past week with Mitchell's Homemade Ice Cream, we did $306. We are trying to at least make $1,500 and hopefully go over that. The generosity of our patrons is amazing. I am having people refuse to take the product which we are offering and slipping in $5, $10 and $20 in the box that is on the table. This Heinen's here, because of our friendly manager's passion, plus a little bit on my part, we have surpassed the other 16 Heinen's in our collections. At this time, the most the other stores collected were about $4,000. We aze up to about $9,000. I think that's pretty significant. Alicia Smith has taken it upon herself to work with each cashier, showing them the video from the Cleveland Foodbank and working with them to make sure she has each of them saying to each customer, "Would you like to contribute to the Cleveland Foodbank". We are being not to assertive or aggressive, but certainly suggestive. My little fundraiser is certainly helping towards that goa1. I think that as a community we, you and everyone, should be most proud of this Heinen's and the effort the employees are making. They are doing an outstanding job, all under Alicia Smith's guidance. Customers have been most generous. And it continues. Mr. Jerome asked, so it's Saturday and Sunday the next couple weeks? Ms. Ratner replied, yes. Our third weekend with vendor fundraising will take place this coming weekend. It will be P»zaz?. The following weekend, Bill Mitchell will be attending from Mitchell's Candies. That will be our second to last vendor fundraiser. Then the next weekend would be the final vendor which is scheduled to be Stone Oven from Cleveland Heights. Mr. Jerome stated, I appreciate you coming up. I hope everyone can come up and dona.te. Ms. Ratner replied, it's a win-win. Thank you for allowing me to speak tonight.
