Random Act Of Kindness Opportunity

Have you done yours today? If not here's your opportunity.

Two years ago my sister opened a restaurant in Alpine, Arizona. After nearly 30 years in management with Red Lobster Lisa opened Foxfire at Alpine.

Lisa has invited local artists to sell their art in her restaurant and many local artisans have done very well. It's a beautiful but very rural area and places for locals to sell their paintings and photographs are few.

Lisa is in the running for a community grant from Chase Bank. It's a vote thing and she only needs 30 more votes.

Please, please support this non-chain restaurant that supports local artists! Follow the link below and support Foxfire at Alpine.

Everyone feels better after doing a random act of kindness. Try it and see!

Omg! I was afraid this would be one of those posts that no one would even look at. Thank you all so much! Restaurant equpment is so expensive and she wants to use the grant to purchase a walk in refrigerator.

Your support means the world to me. Artists are the most generous people in the world. Thank you all!

I have spread my kindness as I have many times before. I hope all my angels out there will visit my site and vote for an image or two as I am hoping to make a sale very soon so I can upgrade

Awesome! So, so close! If you're ever in Alpine try the cheesecake. It's my Aunt Carole's recipe.

Thanks everyone!

voted - although Chase might cancel my vote - I'm not really a fan of Chase (in general - I don't like banks - I use Credit Unions.). My regrets - I do think it's a good deed they are doing.

Good morning! Thanks to you wonderful people, The Foxfire Grill at Alpine has qualified for the next step in the process which is to be reviewed by the panel who will award the grants. She needed 250 votes and YOU GUYS PUT HER OVER THE TOP WITH 255 votes as of a few minutes ago.

Thank you to each one of you who took the time to vote. I appreciate it more than you know!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope karma rewards each of you with a beautiful Sunday!

I am so happy for her! I hope she gets the grant! (Like Roy, I didn't give them high marks on the survey...)

Thanks, John. She really deserves it. She took an old house and turned it into a cute restaurant, she's created summer employment opportunities for high school kids and others and pays them well. This year Lisa expanded the business to include a saloon with live music putting even more artists to work! The Foxfire Grill at Alpine has truly become the social gathering site in their small community and, in case you can't tell, I'm very proud of her!

I am glad she has escaped the fires that occur up there all too frequently.

I took this image (and transformed it) from Mt. Escudilla - I have hiked the forest trail to the top a few times.

You can see how I love it up there. Now live in NC, so can't climb there anymore. But what great memories!

Those are beautiful, John. I think the mountains transformed you, too. Thanks again for your support.

Bless your sister's heart! She sounds like she deserves that walk-in refrigerator no matter who is arranging it. Her cheesecake sounds wonderful and a great food experience.

Put an image or two in addition to John's to let us see what the countryside looks like, could be a great photo OP for those within traveling distance in addition to some wonderful cooking!

Karyn, I'm so relieved. I tried to vote last night but backed out when it said they were sharing my information with FaceBook. I don't know what that means, so I didn't want to risk it. Anyway, I'm so happy she got the votes, and I look forward to visiting the Foxfire when I'm over that way!! (Need to plan a road trip, anyway.)

No problem, Patricia, I understand the privacy issues are a concern to a lot of people. Thanks for the positive thoughts - they must have helped!
