San Diego, CA, USA – WEBWIRE –

I love making people smile, whether it’s at one of my shows or in one of my restaurants. It turns out people enjoy a good meal as much as a great joke.



Grammy-nominated comedian and entrepreneur Elliott Threatt is partnering with WTF Waffles and the USO to celebrate National Waffle Week by serving 250 Camp Pendleton Marines today at the USO at Neil Ash Airport Center, as part of the USO’s “Feed Our Heroes” program.



“Giving back to our service members has been a passion of mine for a long time- I actually performed for the Troops on the USO tours early in my career! WTF Waffles is an awesome, local veteran-owned food truck that’s doing exciting things here in San Diego. We jumped at the chance to partner with them to serve these Marines for ‘Feed Our Heroes.’ There’s no one else I’d rather spend National Waffle Week with,” Mr Threatt beamed.



In addition to a 30-year career in comedy, Mr Threatt is also a community-minded entrepreneur. He and his wife Kathryn Threatt formed E & K Retail, Inc, an airport retail, food & beverage, and concessions operator, in 1992. Today Mr and Mrs Threatt operate 16 stores in 6 airports across the country, partnering with concessionaires like Paradies Lagardère, Elevate Gourmet Brands, and SSP America.



Mr Threatt is also happy to connect his concessions partners with Military Support Organizations; E & K Retail, Inc and Green Beans Coffee, an Elevate Gourmet Brand, partnered to support Veterans Community Project, a Kansas City-based non-profit that combats veteran homelessness by building tiny homes, and providing services and support in six cities across America. Similarly, E & K Retail, Inc and concessions partner Paradies Lagardère work together with the USO in Kansas City, supporting Troops there through the “Treat Our Troops” program.



The Threatts, who are now splitting their time between their native Kansas City, and their new home in Palm Desert, CA, are excited to get involved with more causes like “Feed Our Heroes” at the USO San Diego, and partner with young, exciting food & beverage concepts like WTF Waffles, “I love making people smile, whether it’s at one of my shows or in one of my restaurants,” Mr Threatt said. “It turns out people enjoy a good meal as much as a great joke.”

Linda Elliott Will Tug Every Reader’s Heartstrings With the Release of Her New Book That Cherishes the Love Between Parents and Children

Sep 8, 2021 | Business

To a child, a mother’s love is everything. It heals, teaches, and, most importantly, nurtures. A mother’s love is unconditional and extends far beyond childhood. Even as a child grows into an adult, a mother will continuously carry them in her heart.

A book that celebrates the love of mothers will surely tug at the heartstrings of every reader, young and adult. Linda Elliott, a children’s book author, has created a touching poetry book that parents may enjoy and cherish with their children. Everyone is invited to a wholesome, emotional journey with the release of her book, “Who’s Going to Tie Your Shoes?”

“Who’s Going to Tie Your Shoes?” is as much a book for adults as it is a children’s book. It features hand-drawn illustrations done by the author herself. The book begins with a seemingly trivial question from a mother to her child: “Who’s going to tie your shoes?” However, as the book progresses, Elliott poses a series of questions that may reflect some parents’ unspoken worries. The worries about who will look out for their little ones if they suddenly disappear or when they are called back home by their father.

Elliott, who supported her sister throughout her cancer journey, had the opportunity to speak with other cancer patients. While waiting for her sister to finish her therapy, she spoke to a young mother who was worried about her family. They prayed for her and her family, and for those who were going through the same battle as her sister and the young mother.

The book is dedicated to those who are in the face of a frightening disease—cancer. It will not only entertain, but it will also spur every reader to cherish their family and friends.
