It is my understanding that (Farragut Drive parking advocate) Les Greenberg knew, or should have known, that Grace Diner LLC is a not-for-profit corporation, registered with the Secretary of State and IRS when he wrote his letter accusing me of personally profiting from Grace Diner's activities at Grace Lutheran Church. 

I have personally contributed time, money and whatever expertise I have in this area, for this incredibly worthwhile venture. 

It has truly become a labor of love for all of our volunteers.

 I don't expect an apology from Mr. Greenberg for his false accusation, which is fine with me. 

I would like to mention that before Mr. Greenberg goes off on a tangent about the number of people we draw to the church for this dinner, that it is the only event going on at that timeslot in our building.

As you may suspect, most of the diners do not own cars.  The vast majority of them walk, bike or take a bus to enjoy their weekly meal.
