Regular readers will recognize "Abby's Book Corner" posts. Abigail "Abby" Kearney was my goddaughter who passed away from meningitis in 2008. Her parents have been working to build a library in her honor.
They have been holding book drives for hospitals in Dallas and San Antonio. Now I am going to head one for Houston benefiting the Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital. This will be a combination of an online and real world book drive.
I wanted to place the drop off locations in a Houston chain that has locations all over our area. My first thought was one of my favorites...Freebirds. I contacted the restaurant's California corporate parent email address and have not heard anything back in several weeks. Scratch that off the list.
Does anyone have any ideas of another chain that fits my needs? The business that gets the drop off boxes will get some publicity out of this thing!
