For all the Triangle folks...

[kickaha]

Just got this.

Mmmmm.... Mapleview.

If gas wasn't suddenly a hot commodity, I'd be up there.

(For those outside NC: 90% of our gas comes through one pipeline that goes through NOLA. We haven't had any gas on that pipe since Sunday. No station in the Raleigh area has 87 octane, 89 is hard to come by, but ginkgo found some today for $3.39/gal. Some stations are just plain out. The governor has decreed that the only state government vehicles to be refueled will be emergency vehicles. Just in time for everyone to load up the Excursion and head to the beach for Labor Day.)

Our neighbors, Muffin Brosig, owner of the Mapleview Ice Cream stores and Deborah Pearson-Moyers of the Emerson Waldorf School asked us to e-mail a few friends to get the word out that both ice cream stores will be open on Monday, September 5, Labor Day and that ALL the proceeds will be donated to the relief effort for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Both the original country store on Dairyland road near Mapleview farms (open 12-9pm) and the new store on Weaver Street (open 12-10pm) across from Carr Mill Mall will be participating. All the workers will be volunteers and ALL the money taken in for ice cream, milk, etc. will be given to the relief effort. Please notice it is ALL the proceeds rather than all the profits. "Word of mouth" will be the only advertising method so please let your friends and co-workers know about this delicious opportunity to help.

Thanks so much!! Sincerely,

Michael and Beth

P.S You may remember that the Mapleview folks did this on New Year's Day for the Tsunami Relief effort and sent a check for more that $3000. This was before the Carrboro store opened!!
