My internship

Since having moved to South Florida area, I've been busy with my internship. So far I've not talked about it yet. Here I'm giving you a low down.

I am working in a local chapter of American Diabetes Association. The priority is to raise money for the StepOut walks in Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach in October. You might think there is plenty of time until the walks. No, two and a half months are not a lot of time in the fundraising world. They are barely enough.

The very first day I was assigned to contact Walmart to follow up on our grant requests. I needed to make sure the applications we submitted were being processed and followed through. Walmart requires that grant applicants submit one application to each store. We know that the economy is still down and the number of applicants has gone up. However, we managed to secure a 50% approval.

Not bad to start my first day at all. It was full of excitement.

Kosher Chinese Restaurant

I knew all along that a Kosher Chinese restaurant must exist somewhere in the US. Well, I've found one online today. Mister Chopstik is owned by a Jewish guy. The kitchen is operated by an all asian staff and the food is kosher certified. The food is American Chinese, so you'll find dishes like General Tso's Chicken or Huan Beef etc. In addition, the restaurant sells sushi. Check out their menu. There are lots of items to choose from.

I am hunting for restaurants for us. I am sure there are plenty of fine restaurants in Miami and Fort Lauderdale area.
