We were proud to help United Way of Berks County with The Big Cheese Project! We worked as a team to assemble and package 100,000 meals to help fight hunger within our community. Each meal package is nutritionally balanced to meet recommended dietary guidelines and include all the dry ingredients to make six servings of mac and cheese. The packaged meals will be provided to the Greater Berks Food Bank, who will store and distribute the meals to local people in need. The packages have a two-year shelf life.
United Way worked with Outreach, Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing food, water and medical help throughout the U.S. and abroad. Outreach, Inc. organizes similar events throughout the country and provides the meals and supplies. Each meal costs 25 cents; costs were supported through United Way's community impact budget directed towards meeting basic needs.
The Big Cheese Project is one of many volunteer projects that occurred the weekend of June 20 as part of the national Day of Action when communities around the world come together to LIVE UNITED and take action to address a community challenge.

This year I had a very jolly New Year party. I invited many of my friends. As a matter of fact almost all my class came. Many of them brought decorations for the New year tree. Frankly speaking I was suprised to see so many sparkling balls of different colours. We started to celebrate at 11 o'clock. An hour later when the clock struck 12 we started to wish each other all the best. Then we ate festive food. Also we danced a lot. We told a lot of jokes and laughed. In fact nobody was sad that night. At 4 a.m. we went out to pull crackers. Funny enough, some more people who were total strangers joined us in the fun. Then we returned home and had some cake and tea. Some hours later my guests went home. I went to bed and slept till midday. I hope my next New Year will be not worse!
