I knew my family would come through when asked to donate coats. I've seen their basements, those cavernous Philly rowhouse cellars, filled to the ceiling joists with unwanted stuff. The Thanksgiving holiday was a perfect opportunity to clear out some space.
My mother hosts Thanksgiving every year and the number of diners varies, usually between 20 and 30 people. This year we had 27 adults, plus 3, no 4, no 5, wait, 6 kids...plus Jack Mooney. It was the perfect opportunity to get some more coats. We sent an email and made a few calls.
The Romeo's won the day, schlepping two huge contractor bags filled with 30 coats! Some of them were pretty nice, too. The Negro's gave about 10 coats...although I know if we spent some time in their basement we could get 30 more. The Cappelli's scrounged up about 5 and Nikki and Nikki' Badessa also had about 5 or so.
Nice job, everyone. Go Griswolds!
