Rememberance Day Video - A Pittance of Time

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kX_3y3u5Uo 

 On November 11, 1999 Terry Kelly was in a Shoppers Drug Mart store in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. At 10:55 AM an announcement came over the store's PA asking customers who would still be on the premises at 11:00 AM to give two minutes of silence in respect to the veterans who have sacrificed so much for us. Terry was impressed with the store's leadership role in adopting the Legion's "two minutes of silence" initiative. He felt that the store's contribution of educating the public to the importance of remembering was commendable.

When eleven o'clock arrived on that day, an announcement was again made asking for the "two minutes of silence" to commence. All customers, with the exception of a man who was accompanied by his young child, showed their respect. Terry's anger towards the father for trying to engage the store's clerk in conversation and for setting a bad example for his child was later channeled into a beautiful piece of work called, "A Pittance of Time". Terry later recorded "A Pittance of Time" and included it on his full-length music CD, "The Power of the Dream".

Obama's campaign released a five-minute video of the president's address Wednesday to members of his staff at his Chicago headquarters. The short speech came a day after he won re-election.

The president talks about his work as a community organizer in Chicago and tells staffers and volunteers that they will do "amazing things" in their lives.

Two North Okaagan food banks are seeking community support.  The Vernon and Enderby food banks will be competing against 20 other food banks in B.C. for up to $25,000 in the Kraft Food for Families contest. “There is $20,000 available at 50 cents per online vote (40,000 votes total), plus a $5,000 bonus to the food bank with the most votes at the end of the contest,” said Shawna Klassen-Roth, with the Salvation Army, which runs the Vernon and Enderby agencies. “Voters can vote once per day, every day. The wonderful aspect to this challenge is that anyone can do it for free, and every single vote equals a contribution to the food bank.” The contest can be found at www.kraftfoodforfamilies.ca
