Hello Lorraine  (Hello Lorraine’s blog readers),

Starting this November, Panera Bread^® and the Panera Bread Foundation will be helping to provide Panera Soup to those in need across America.  Through Feeding America, participating member food banks will distribute over half a million servings of Panera Soup*, as well as receive locally-donated funds.

You can help! Your contributions to Panera Cares Community Breadboxes^™, found in participating bakery-cafes, could become a bowl of hot soup — and a helping hand to those in need.

— your friends at MyPanera^®

* Panera Bread and our foundation will donate approximately 480,000 pounds of soup to provide approximately 717,000 cups of soup in Nov 2012. ** Coleman-Jensen, Alisha, Mark Nord, Margaret Andrews, and Steven Carlson.

Those of you who have followed my blogs know I have a fondness for Panera.  During my Tab teardrop trailer travels in 2010, I searched for Panera so I could use their free WiFi (and enjoy their delicious, reasonably priced food).

Postscript: Preparing this blog was extremely routine.  I’m so glad I stopped battling Windows-8 and purchased a new laptop with Windows-7.
