Lou Lanza: Another successful evening at the AstraZeneca Hope Lodge

Lou Lanza, Retired Mechanical Engineer last working for BB&E Consulting Engineers and Professionals, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Another successful evening at the AstraZeneca Hope Lodge. A little wrinkle this time. Thanks to Kim Mosley of the Cathy Miller Cancer Fund team for inviting me and the Flyers for arranging this feast for the Patients and their Caregivers staying at the Lodge.

I brought my obligatory pizzelles, cream puffs and eclairs. I broke bread with Michelle and Jeff from Delaware. I was surprised and pleased to see Paula Green of the ACS. Also got to meet the newest Philly Sports Mascot sensation.”

“Lou Lanza you inspire me every day. I know that you brightened the day of those in the Lodge – as you always do – and I am thankful.

You and Gritty DePhila make a powerful team!”
