No, Rachel Check here with The vice president of Sister company, of course, and we're excited this morning. We couldn't be more excited. We're so proud. Employees and our business partners, we've raised over $13,000 for this incredible cause, and we're so proud to be aligned with Island Harvest, formerly Federal Credit, and what a great day. We know this is going to feed our neighbors, their families all so timely. What a great time of year to get this going and also with everything that's going on, we know how many people. So our employees have been helping us out. Our business partners have been helping us out, and this is going to continue right through the holidays. We couldn't be more upset. I harvest that the need is real this year. This is a really tough.

Don't need any advance notice for this. Just show up. They'll be happy to see you. The 17th annual 4 Leave Turkey Drive. You can head to Bethpage right now to make a donation, and our Jen Selig is there at 4 Leaf Federal Credit Union. It's been quite a morning already, Jen, and so much more to come. Yeah, I keep looking at the meter and it looks like we're almost hitting 900 turkeys already so early this morning. I'm like, let's lap it up. you are the CEO and president for Leave, and to be able to do this here is amazing. It's amazing. We've been doing this for 18 years now, and it was an idea Randy and I had in a diner over a cup of coffee and said, Why not do a turkey drive and we've always supported Island Harvest, but the collecting the turkeys is so meaningful. In fact, this year, Randy and I have been talking. It's been an especially hard year this year, so we wanted to do something a little. Bigger and a little special, so I have something that I want to present to Randy if that's OK. Can somebody get me the big pen? Do we have the big pen? Oh, you're not kidding, but wait a second, I need to write on something. Big moments, Randy, we want to donate an extra $50,000 this year because we know how hard you're working and how hard the team is working and we to feed Long Islanders, so I want to cry right now. This is incredible. You had no idea. I had no idea. This is a big moment. The relationship that we have with 4 leaf is incredible. It's gone on for so long, and look, 4 leaf doesn't just support island harvests, it supports Long Island and Long Islanders, and this is going to help us make sure we can feed a lot of people this year. This is such a tough year for so many people. And this is how we come together and make a difference, so my gosh, we love for leaf. This is everybody else to do their part. 6 o'clock and you don't have to bring $50,000 because even one turkey can make a difference for a family, but this helps to show that we can really come together and make a difference for a lot of people. Let's get a check of that forecast now with Rich.
