AT FIRST, MISS JO THOUGHT HER SUBDUED MOOD CAME FROM THE EIGHT CONSECUTIVE DAYS OF RAIN forecast for San Francisco. Then the TV piped up with reports of the worsening situation in earthquake-devastated Haiti.
Thankfully, as a counterweight to feeling useless, Miss Jo learned of Bay Area bake sales being organized to raise money for relief efforts.
Hoping to help rebuild Haiti one cupcake at a time are:
Bake Sale for Haiti – Saturday, January 23, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. @ three locations: Bi-Rite Market, 3639 18th St. @ Guerrero, San Francisco; Pizzaiolo, 5008 Telegraph Ave., Oakland; and Gioia Pizzeria, 1586 Hopkins St., Berkeley. Organized by Ciao Samin, email her ( saminnosrat@yahoo.com ), to bring baked goods or help in other ways, like manning tables.
SF Vegan Bake Sale For Haiti: Saturday, January 23rd, 11 a.m. – 4 p.m., in Patricia Green park between Hayes and Octavia Street, San Francisco. To participate, email Jen (jmcvenus@gmail.com).

I’ve been in a somber mood the last week, too. Things seem to be getting worse in Haiti, instead of better. I’m sending positive vibes their way…
what a great idea! Wish I was local because I’d whip up a coupla dozen somethings and bring them over. There are many ways to donate though. Red cross, March of Dimes are raising awareness and funds and the one that I think is most brilliantly easy is donation via a cell phone text – text “haiti” to 20222 to make 10-dollar donations…
