More and more people, it seems, are whipping out their camera phones to take pictures at Starbucks. Why? I guess we can thank Our Favorite City Councilman, Bobby Shriver, who cooked-up a promotion between his charity, (RED), and the Starbucks Corporation. From now through January 2, every time you purchase a special (Red) Beverage -- an Espresso Truffle, a Gingersnap Latte or a Peppermint Mocha Twist -- Starbucks will donate 5 cents to (Red) and its efforts to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria in Africa. As part of the promotion, Starbucks is also encouraging its customers to have their photo taken in front of a (Red) holiday backdrop for inclusion on the Starbucks website. You can even search the website to see how many people from your neighborhood have submitted their photos. Of the 8,704 people who have submitted photos so far, a grand total of 2 come from 7th and Montana. I guess the concept of having their picture taken at Starbucks has some folks seeing (Red) ...!

Looked on the Starbucks website... still no Marty? Do you have a (Red) card yet? I need to know you care enough to take action, we know you have a camera ;)
They should hire you to do the pictures, lol.
I say you start a tresure hunt and have the back drop on the lists of tresures to sought!
I think they stole your idea!
Great cause, though. I hope more 7th and Montanans participate.

Sounds like a whole lotta snapshots goin' on.
I think you should all do one of those naked calendars. I'm sure it would be red chees all round!
Gaz ;-)
