KASHRUT/KOSHER UPDATE IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA

Both Wegman and Shoppers [Faircity Mall only] are carrying Solomon's fresh Kosher meats.Wegman carries Kosher Lamb, Bison, and Beef products, where as, Shoppers carries only fresh Kosher beef. Shoppers prices have gone below Wegman's to stay competitive. Mr. Yates, Shoppers store manager has told me, he had to throw away $450 worth of product because it was not sold by the sell by date.

There is a real danger in losing this resource at Shoppers if sales don't pick up soon.

We are looking for authentic dramatic anecdotes, short stories (1500-4000 words) that epitomize your experience as immigrants who CHOSE to live in America.

Think of something that has happened to you as an immigrant - We are looking for those special moments, encounters, surprises, experiences, disappointments, which vividly convey what it's like to be an immigrant in America. The good, the bad, the sad, the miraculous, the joyful— every anecdote is welcome as long as it's authentic and well told.

IF YOU HAVE A GOOD STORY – WE WANT TO HEAR IT!

The goal of our project is to turn some of these stories into short films that will be shown in the movies and broadcast on TV.

So think carefully of that special story that is worth telling the world, and share it with us.

Send your story to: stories@choosingamerica.com

We'll be glad to answer any further questions you might have.
