Template:Article of the Week
Ladies and Gentlemen, Over the past few weeks our members have dealt with many challenges. We've seen earthquakes, droughts, fires, dust storms, earthquakes and more. Through it all, we have also found faith in one another demonstrated in our actions to care for one another. In the month of September, Amtgard raised $12,033 to fight hunger in our communities. The sum raised this year is nearly 4 times the amount last year and translates to roughly $120,000 in buying power for the various food charities. Amtgard has also ran donation drives to help families recover from the loss of their homes by wild fires while we also supported Bitter Coast's Wounded Warrior drive raising $1500+ dollars. We, the Food Fight team, want to congratulate and thank ALL of Amtgard for their help on another job well done. The Kingdoms of the Golden Plains and Dragonspine ran one hell of a race and in the end it looks like the Golden Plains came out ahead with an impressive $3779. The CK continued to set a great example, leading the way collecting well over 500 cans and the Freehold of the Golden Plains has opened the door to a whole new way of addressing the Food Fight through volunteerism.
We want to thank the Kingdom Reps for their outstanding support and leadership as well as thank Francis and the Clan feast team that helped kick off this year's campaign.
We hope you are able to take a moment and enjoy this success and our appreciation. Know that there are smiling faces, enjoying a good meal because of your hardwork.
Thank you and congratulations again to Golden Plains.
GoldCrest Food Fight
And yes, there will be a Food Fight 2012.
