Lunch Break - August 2011 Newsletter
Nick Carraway
Welcome to the Summer’s Lunch Break
This June, July and August have been a period of great growth and creativity on LunchBreakBlog.com. We would like to thank our new sponsors including Bernie’s Pretzels, Kevin Bellis Construction, The Irish Coffee Shop, and Dean Green’s Seafood for supportingthe great discussion, writing, and much more. We survived the federal budget crisis, the last of NASA's manned space shuttles, an NFL peace accord, and even had some time for vacations with our families. We even made it to the final round for CBS Philly's Most Valuable Blogger Award. Help us win by voting everyday until September 9th.
The summer isn’t over yet though, and the Lunch Break is here for your reading and writing appetites. Come for your own reasons, but don’t spend a single meal alone. Join us everyday at The Lunch Break.
