GOLDEN WEST CAFE IN NORTH BALTIMORE HAS BEEN FORTUNATE DURING THE PANDEMIC CUSTOMERS ARE SUPPORTING AND BUSINESS IS GOOD. I THINK THE BALTIMOREANS REALLY CARE OWNERS SAMANTHA CLAWSON’S RECENT CONVERSATION WITH A TEACHER AS THEY GET READY TO HEAD BACK TO CLASSROOMS GAVE HER AN IDEA OF HOW TO SHARE SOME OF THAT GOOD FORTUNE. SHE WAS DESCRIBING TO ME HER ANXIETY AND FEELINGS ABOUT RETURNING TO THE CLASSROOM AND SHE DIDN’T FEEL LIKE SHE HAD ENOUGH PPE SHE’S GONNA ACTUALLY BORROW MONEY FROM HER PARENTS WHEN SHE TOLD ME THAT I THOUGHT WE JUST SOMETHING TUESDAY NIGHT GOLDEN WEST CAFE AND THREE OTHER BALTIMORE RESTAURANTS WILL DONATE 20% OF ALL SALES TO THE PURCHASE OF KN95 MASKS FOR BALTIMORE CITY TEACHERS. THE FUNDRAISER WILL RUN FROM FOUR TO NINE P-M IF WE CAN RAISE 2500 DOLLARS OUT OF ALL OF THIS WE CAN SUPPLY 500 CITIES TEACHERS WITH PACK OF MASKS WHICH IS REALLY INCREDIBLE INCREDIBLE AND ESSENTIAL ACCORDING TO FRANCA MUELLER A SPANISH TEACHER AT BALTIMORE CITY COLLEGE. SHE PAID FOR N95 MASKS OUT OF HER OWN POCKET TO GET READY FOR IN-PERSON LEARNING. WE REALLY NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE MASS BUT WE HAVE HIGH QUALITY MASS LIKE THIS THE ART THESE INCREDIBLE PARTNERS FROM RESTAURANTS ARE GOING TO BE HELPING TO PROVIDE FOR US. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE STAFF IN THE BUILDINGS ARE HAVING ACCESS TO THESE MASS MUELLER SAYS TEACHERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH CLOTH MASKS, BUT NOT 95 OR OTHER HIGHER PROTECTION ONES AND STUDENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN. IT’S NOT FAIR TO BE PUTTING THAT FINANCIAL BURDEN ON TEACHERS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR STUDENTS HAVE THE HIGH QUALITY MASS THAT THEY DESERVE SAMANTHA IS PREDICTING A BUSY NIGHT WITH BIG SALES AND HOPEFULLY TEACHERS FEELING ALL THE SUPPORT. WE CAN’T BRING BACK THE THE ECONOMY ON THE BACKS OF TEACHERS OR KIDS WORKING IN, YOU KNOW RESTAURANTS LIKE WE JUST CAN’T DO IT. SO WE REALLY HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING. IT WE CAN AND WE CAN’T MAKE MORE VACCINES AVAILABLE, BUT WE CAN SURE AS GET SOME MASKS TO FOLKS. ALL RIGHT. SO HERE’S A LOOK AT ALL THE SUPPORTING RESTAURANTS FOR TOMORROW NIGHT GOLDEN WEST CAFE THE LOCAL FRY TOKITAKO AND THAI STREET. THE MASS WILL BE PURCHASED FROM THE BALTIMORE RESTAURANT RELIEF FUND. AND AGAIN, THE EVENT IS TOMORROW NIGHT FROM 4:00 TO 9PM REPORTING LIVE IN N
