Mayors for Meals, a Meals on Wheels Program

This year Mayors For Meals was once again a major success, as over 1,000 mayors from the United States and Canada delivered meals with their local Meals On Wheels program to home bound seniors.  We had many great people visiting the home bound of Chester County today, not all of them mayors, by the way.  Some are city councilmen, township supervisors, commissioners, etc. 

Right here in Goshen Towne, which is what the chapter that I oversee is called, we were proud to have Carmen Battavio, East Goshen Township Supervisor, and Kathi Cozzone, Chester County Commissioner. 

Dave Rathburn, the driver for route 1 had the pleasure of taking Carmen Battavio around.  Carmen is an old and dear friend to an agent in my office.  He is also a township supervisor in my township and the owner of Battavio Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning, so I know Carmen well.  Carmen is also a substitute driver for Meals on Wheels, wanting to give back to a program that was such a big help to his father in his later years.  Carmen and I spent a Thursday going around showing him my route a few weeks ago.

My normal day to deliver Meals on Wheels is on Thursday, and I will be delivering tomorrow, but Jeani Purcell, the Director the Meals on Wheels of Chester County, asked me if I could deliver today with Kathi Cozzone.  I have met Kathi on several occasions, as I am also on the board of the Chester County Women's Commission.  She's a great lady and a real asset as one of our Commissioners and I am happy to know her.  We had a delightful day of delivering meals and greeting the home bound, many of whom were impressed to see me in such stellar company. Click on Kathi's name above to find out more about her.  She's a very accomplished lady.

The weather was wonderful, the company spectacular and I was doing what I love best, helping others.  After a successful day, I got home to let my beloved dog JJ out, looked down at my feet and realized that I HAD TWO DIFFERENT SHOES ON!!    Well if Kathi Cozzone didn't know I was just a little dipsy before today, she certainly knows it now!  A laugh filled ending to a lovely day.
