East Bay Annual Event – San Ramon Wind Festival!

Diablo Black Mens Group knocked them dead with the “Cobbler Shack” today!

OK, so I am the “rookie” with the Diablo Black Mens Group. But, what I didn’t know is that their annual food booth at the San Ramon Wind Festival was selling peach cobbler and ice cream. The “rookie” gets to be the ice cream scooper. I am 60 years old and do you have any idea what scooping ice cream does to one’s tennis elbow and carple tunnel syndrome? Well, I am at home tonight with ice on my right arm, a glass of wine in my left hand, and I have already taken three Advil. Who would have even imagined that there would be such an action packed fund raiser within two weeks of joining this group. And, I just completed the 18th Annual Blackhawk Food, Wine & Film Faire at the Blackhawk Car Museum for my Rotary club last week, which was another over the top event from an effort and planning standpoint. You will find me down at Body Works in Danville this week for a serious deep tissue massage.

All kidding aside, there was a ton of money raised by the DBMG for their scholorship fund the past two days at the San Ramon Wind Festival! It was a lot of hard work, but it will contribute a significant amount of funds to scholorships to young African-American men starting college. We even sold out of the cobbler and ice cream by 3:30PM today because of the crowds that kept lining up for this great treat at the Festival.

So, I am through with the breakdown of the booth, loading the truck, and high-fiving the DBMG crew, and I am walking to my car. I run in to lots of friends attending the event asking how it went with our fundraiser. And, who should I run into is Dr. Brent Waterman - the doctor that assisted me with completing so many high endurance sporting events over the past 20+ years. He is my chiropractor, and he is the past president of the Danville Lions Club and the past Lions Club member of the year! Dr. Brent is not only a dear friend, but he is a giant in the world of community service in the East Bay. He was standing in the middle of the walkway passing out coupons for the Taste Of Danville Event coming up next week. I promised him that I would assist him in passing out the fliers to the real estate community. And, I promised him that I would give the event a plug on my blog site. So, here are the details. It is the 14th Annual Spring Restaurant Walk in Danville – 6PM to 9PM. It is the only “Progressive Dinner” in the East Bay; The Peasant & The Pear; Tower Grille; Primo’s Pizza; Beverages & More; Starbuck’s Coffee; Sideboard; La Ultima New Mexican Food; Bridges Restaurant; Amber Bistro; Basil Leaf Cafe; China Paradise; FAZ; Masala Indian Fusion; and Taqueria El Balazo!
