Food, hope and joy

Brian Ingram, CEO and chef of "Purpose Restaurants," spoke at our Eagan Rotary weekly lunch meeting on Wednesday. He founded many successful restaurants nationally and has used their successes to give back largely to his communities in the form of 300,000 free meals, 2 million pounds of food and $225,000 in relief to local families in need. He's a generous, big-hearted man.

This clever, young boy was selling lemonade and sweet tea on the corner for 50 cents under the watchful eye of his camera shy dad. When I asked him what makes his lemonade the best, he replied "it's homemade." I gave him a dollar and left with my drink.
