A simple prayer

I think when we can picture the path the food has taken from the ground where it was grown and harvested to our kitchens, we can’t help but feel some gratitude.

Letterman has his Top 10 List, and Oprah has her gratitude journal. We — at this time of thanksgiving — thought that it would be fun to blend the two and compile a list of things we are grateful for.

NUTS TO YOU!

Unexpectedly delicious, creamy and freaky good for you! Seriously? You can see why our pantries are all in a tizzy over this whole nuts-in-a-jar thing.

Coalition for Advancing Transit (C.A.T.) Meeting

Coalition for Advancing Transit (C.A.T.) Meeting

The Coalition for Advancing Transit (C.A.T.) will hold their next meeting on Wednesday, November 18 at 9:00 am at Manpower International Headquarters in Milwaukee. Transit plays a pivotal role in our growth as a vibrant economic region and state, and our success in competing in the global marketplace. C.A.T. advocates for a permanent regional transit authority with a dedicated funding source to improve and enhance our current transit systems and create a dynamic, multimodal network in southeast Wisconsin. Without dedicated funding, existing local transit systems will face severe service reductions in 2010, continue their steep decline and important transportation system improvements will not become a reality. This is our best opportunity to gain dedicated transit funding and regional coordination. Interested in learning more getting engaged in the issue? Contact UEDA at (414)562-9904 or Kristi@… for more information or to RSVP for the meeting.
