Addendum to yesterday's post

After submitting yesterday’s post, I realized that I neglected to mention what was probably one of Rock Recovery’s greatest events. Perhaps the reason it slipped my mind is because it was so simple. But the event reminded me of the beauty and effectiveness of simplicity. The event I’m referring to was Rock Recovery’s “Non-Profit Tuesday,” compliments of a fantastic DC-based restaurant and “community gathering place” called Busboys & Poets. The concept is theirs, and reflects the organization’s generosity and heart for its community. And it’s a sweet deal! The restaurant selects a non-profit each week, and invites the group to set up a display at a centrally located table. People who come for dinner are drawn to the table, thus providing a way for the non-profit to share its mission with literally hundreds of restaurant guests. On top of that, the restaurant donates 5% of dinner proceeds to the non-profit. What a deal, right!?! Rock Recovery was blessed to be the beneficiary of a Non-Profit Tuesday. And God answered prayers by bringing in several individuals who were suffering from the effects of ED in their families. We hope we shared our message of hope and healing, and commend Busboys & Poets for proactively reaching out to organizations like Rock Recovery.
