they’ve been doing for so many years. This too takes a lot of
time to arrange, but we do it every year.
Sometimes being a giver will open you up to new talents.
Each year I donate an autographed doodle to the Doodle for
Hunger auction at Tavern on the Green. It’s a great event, and
contributors have included Sting, Muhammad Ali, Larry King,
Al Pacino, Billy Joel, Valentino, Bill Cosby, Paul McCartney,
Kirk Douglas, Martina Navratilova, Peter Max, Bette Midler,
Jack Nicklaus, Cindy Crawford, and many other distinguished
people. It takes me a few minutes to draw something, in my
case, it’s usually a building or a cityscape of skyscrapers, and
then sign my name, but it raises thousands of dollars to help the
hungry in New York through the Capuchin Food Pantries Min-
istry. The auction was an innovative idea that has helped many
people, and I don’t mind spending a little time for a very good
cause. Art may not be my strong point, but the end result is help
for people who need it.
