A Little Solidarity > Les Restos du Cœur

So, the Restos and me, it's Love...
In addition to buying the CD every year (because as a saleswoman, I unfortunately spend a lot of time on the road) and singing along loudly to it (ask Sabine and Séverine), I do the transitions and the little jokes of the singers... in short, I know everything...

I had a bit very much seen on the blogosphere that everyone was talking about this event; promoting companies that put small businesses out of business is not really my thing... but hey, even for a great cause, should I flirt with the devil?? A vast question, do these companies also promote themselves to ease their conscience??

So, I weighed the pros and cons, I'll talk about it without naming brands, so in the end we talk more about the Restos than the donors, and besides, one article = 10 meals, that's not nothing, admittedly these big groups could (and should) do better, but hey, they do...

Every year, when I'm warm under my duvet (or by a good fireplace) and I watch the show on TV, I say to myself OMG I'm really lucky, and then I make a donation (modest) and I buy the CD, so I tell myself that in my own way I contribute a little... so every year I tell myself I hope it will be the last time, but unfortunately it's been 25 years...

So if, for "ethical" reasons, you don't want to talk about this operation on your blog, then spread the message that you should buy the CD... and you should know that the Restos is not just about providing meals, it's also about emergency housing and rental assistance...

So it's Valérie who sponsored me, and since I'm going to do everything properly, I'm sending my email to hub@lanetscouade.com, but if you want to talk about it and you discovered the operation on the blog, say that I "sponsored" you!
For more info, I invite you to visit the Restos website and watch channel number 1 (figuratively speaking, of course) on Friday, March 12.
With that, I'm going to count our 178 packages with a small CD... (2007!)

Edit of March 5, 2009: Sophie sent me an email to tell me that 10 meals were offered :)
