To subscribe go to: ssepac-subscribe@yahoo.com Next time you happen to be in Mandarin Taste, please say a special thank-you to Alice. Alice donated all the food and the entire amount of the food sales to SSEPAC at the Harlem Rockets game in December. In addition, she physically purchased all the food and drinks, delivered them to the high school, and stayed and served the food as well. She’s has been extremely modest about her generosity and has only said she "wanted to help children with special needs". Chase your winter blues away.
