Some of you may know that I tend to end up at Kokopelli’s Mexican Cantina in Prairie Village at least once a week.  Several of my good friends and I start our weekends there to chat up the weeks happenings, eat some great food, have some drinks, and we usually end up making fun of one another…

I got an email from my friend, and Kokopelli’s owner - Kevin Lyman - about his restaurants July can food drive.  We spoke about it, and he reminded me that because of the economy, many food pantries in town had more need, and less donations.  I asked him to send me the graphic to throw up on our blogs and through our Social Media network to get donations to local food pantries.

Now, I’d love it if you’d come into Kokopelli’s and drop off your cans there (there is a big round barrell right inside the front door) - and Kevin incentivized it by giving $5 off a check of $20 or more with a donation of 5 cans…  What a bargain…  (And the food and margaritas are the best in KC!)

I decided that Highland Outdoor would participate as well… SO:

1.  For every signed contract in July, we will donate a CASE of canned goods to the Food Drive

2.  For those clients who bring canned food to our office, we will enter you in a drawing for $50 worth of Kokopelli’s Gift Certificates - just bring them by the office during regular business hours (M-F, 8-5) - and we’ll put your name in the hat.  The first week of August, we’ll pick one.

Let’s make a difference in our community by giving canned food at a time where its needed more than ever.

PS - If you go into Kokopelli’s, ask if Kevin is there - and say hi.  You’ll be glad you did…
