On October 28th, the Mesa Boys and Girl's Club contacted Clean Air Cab to see if we could possibly donate 30 turkeys and our time to give them a Thanksgiving dinner on November 22nd.
Despite the time crunch and the large amount of turkeys that we needed to provide for, members of Clean Air Cab's very own Green Team found a way.
The miracle came in the form of two women, Julie Renshaw and Tia Renshaw who are related to Glenn Thopsey, a hardworking man at Clean Air Cab.
They provided the funds that allowed Clean Air Cab to obtain 30 turkeys.
Steve Lopez, the owner of Clean Air Cab, along with the individuals at Mesa Boys and Girls club cannot even begin to express their gratitude.
Want to know what 30 turkeys looks like in a Prius?
so did we.... what do you think?
Because I think that much turkey is a beautiful sight, and not just because I am a conisour of fine foods, or a meatatarian; it is because that food was donated for a good cause, for our youth, your children.
I cannot forget to mention our mascot was there.
This was Lily's first time volunteering, and as you can see...
she was exactly in her element.
Why did we chose to volunteer at the Mesa Boys and Girls Club?
because great futures start here.

now to the story of our service....
this is the feasting hall.
If we were vikings I would compare it to Valhalla;
but since we are not...
I will call it gym-converted-into-place-of-feasting
we were punctual. too punctual. We set up, and then forced them to give us another task
that task?
slicing pie into 200+ pieces
I doubt mass produces conveyer belts could work with the speed
or precision that we managed that night.
This is Tina.... Tina did not want her picture to be taken.
so I made sure she had a solo shot.
Tina, you deserve to be appreciated.
LOOK. Brianna's hand's are moving so swiftly, not even my hiteck
iphone could capture her movement.
I guess you could say we were SUPER-volunteers.
finally, we began the assembly line of food to be delivered to the children and their families.
People from all over the valley had come together to make this event happen.
As the families arrived and the food was laid out, it began to feel like Thanksgiving.
of course we mostly slaved away in the food area, but that is what good volunteers do right?
The lovely woman in the black shirt is Brittany. She is kind of a superstar...
especially when she hands out the turkey.
our mascot, and her lovely mommy
(who also happens to be the general manager at Clean Air Cab).
At this event, we had Clean Air Cab employees and friends alike,
joining in a cause to help the community.
When I see the hands on this sign,
I know that the future requires friendship, trust in a better tomorrow, and help from those around us.
This Thanksgiving, at Clean Air Cab, we are thankful to be part of the solution.
what are you thankful for?
