Macy’s, one of my favorite department stores! They’ve started a great fundraising campaign called Come Together that aims to feed 10 million people suffering from hunger.Macy’s and the Come Together campaign are inviting everyone to rally around the cause by hosting special dinners in their homes and asking their guests to pledge a donation to feeding America. In return, Macy’s will match these donations dollar-for-dollar until the goal of 10 million meals is reached!
Here’s how you can get involved and participate in this great cause:
• HOST- Friends and families across the country can host dinner parties from casual to formal, send invitations and manage party details including themes and recipes on
www.macys.com/cometogether. In lieu of bringing traditional host gifts, guests are suggested to make a donation to Feeding America.• GIVE – Donate $1 directly at any Macy’s register, one dollar provides dinner for seven.
• SHOP - Macy’s customers can shop for the cause and get special savings in-store on October 17, when Macy’s hosts a national Shop For A Cause day. A portion of the $5 in-store ticket sales will benefit Feeding America.
I’m sure by now everyone has seen the TV spots featuring Macy’s ‘Star’ designers urging you to get involved in this great campaign. Also, on top of the 10 million meals Macy’s is also donating 1 meal for every Twitter follower they get up to 35,000 followers by 10/20. So be sure to follow @macysinc as well.
So Come Together and help feed those who are hungry! Visit www.macys.com/cometogether for more information.

I'd let my grandparents choose 3 relatives, who live far away, to have for dinner.
They never get to see them, and it would be nice for them!
Jesus for saving me
My boyfriend Paul for always being here for me.
My mom...she passed away in '92, and I still miss her so much!
My dad...he's still alive, but is suffering from prostate and heart issues.
and lastly, my sister. I haven't seen here since I was 18. I'm now 34. I live 3000 miles away and neither one of us can afford it.

Three of them would be my online friends that I've known for several years (from 5 to 10 years) but have yet to meet.
Separate from that group, I'd love to have one with Michael Jackson (RiP) because he was my music hero throughout my life. Also would love to have JUNE, a Korean J-Pop singer, join us since they have a similar style, and I love it~
I would like to have a dinner party with my dad and my grandma and gradaddy who are deceased, my niece who lives 3000 miles away, and my best friend from high school. I miss them so much and would love to be together again. Thanks!

My great-grandmother because I never got a chance to get close to her. My Aunt because I never spent enough time with her before she passed. Of course my twin sister and Mom would come... and maybe someone from Jagged Edge because they're so fine!

I have five year old triplets. We do tons of wrestling. I'm a fan of both.
I would love to have dinner with:
1. Harper Lee (she wrote to Kill a Mockingbird)--I'd like to ask why she wrote only one book.
2. Mae West --- she was an outspoken person, comfortable in her skin, and way before her time.
3. Jennifer Aniston -- I would tell her to stop dating Jerks and introduce her to a nice guy I know who would be perfect for her:)
4. Jim Carrey - I'd love to know what he is like off Camera. I've seen serious glimpses of him in interviews, but I'd like to see more and know what makes him tick.
5. Tony Cutis - I have read his bio's and he is a hoot. I'd like to hear more stories about old hollywood.

My dad has been dead for about 10 years, but I still miss him every day, so he would be my first choice. And I would invite all 4 grandparents. They died when I was so young that I never got to ask them all of the questions about their lives that I would love to know!
My father, my mother, Anderson cooper, Brad Pitt, and John Lennon.

I would love to have dinner and discuss the history of our country with George Washington, Betsy Ross, Abe Lincoln, Thomas Edison and Ben Franklin.
I would pick these people because of their contributions to society. Princess Diana, Winston Churchill, Gandhi, Bill Gates and T Boone Pickens. That would be an interesting and deep conversation.
