With the struggles our economy is facing, more people than ever will go without food this holiday season.  Our Commerce with Conscience program donates 5% of Tastefully Driven’s profits to local charities in the Albany, NY area.  For 2008 we were proud to make our donation to the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York a few months early so that they would be able to use the funds to help families in our community this holiday season. This past Wednesday night our team attended the 19th Annual Auction to benefit the Regional Food Bank at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Albany.  In addition to the company donation, our team won several auctions to directly benefit the Food Bank.  Thank you to all of our customers who were able to make this donation possible.  The Food Bank estimates that for every dollar donated $10 - $12 of food is given to the hungry.  

Below is a photo of our team at the event:

We look forward to working with the Food Bank and other local charities in 2009 and beyond to help improve our community.

Sports are getting into full gear. NFL is in midseason form. Hockey is starting to get interesting, and the NBA just began. That’s where we focus on, the NBA.

STUDS:
Brandon Roy, PG/SG, Portland
Best player on an upcoming team, that will only get better with the addition of Greg Oden.

Kevin Garnett, PF, Boston
The Defending Champs look to their leader to help repeat. A double-double from him doesn’t hurt.

DUDS:

Eddy Curry, C, New York Knicks
You could say that the entire Knicks team could be duds, but Curry takes the title. He has all the potential in the world, yet, for some reason, he doesn’t want to use it.

Richard Jefferson, SF, Milwaukee
He’s getting older, and doesn’t have Jason Kidd to facilitate.

Breakout Player:
Julian Wright, PF, New Orleans
Playing with Chris Paul doesn’t hurt. His amazing athleticism doesn’t either.

Breakdown Player:
Hedo Turkogulu, SF, Orlando
He had an amazing year last year, but there is no way he can keep it up.

MVP:
LeBron James, SF, Cleveland
Chris Paul is a close second, but LeBron is the best player since MJ.

EASTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPS:
Boston Celtics
Too good. Best team in the league.

WESTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPS:
New Orleans Hornets
Chris Paul leads them here.

NBA FINALS:
Boston over New Orleans.

Enjoy the NBA season folks.
