Group Leaves Surprise $1,300 Tip Left For Local Server

RACINE COUNTY, WI — Michelle Bachman said she was speechless when she got the tip of a lifetime.

Bachman, 57, is a server at Mulberry's Pancakes and Cafe in Union Grove. On Sunday, she was behind the counter when 13 members Orchestrating Good paid for their order - and each left a $100 tip. The total $1,300 tip blew Bachman away.

"Thank you all so very much. I’m still speechless. You hear about this but never ever believe it could happen to you. I feel beyond blessed. Thank you so very much and Merry Christmas to all of you," she replied on Orchestrating Good's Facebook page.

Wisconsin-based Orchestrating Good is a nonprofit organization whose recent projects included helping local police set up a community haunted house in one of Mount Pleasant's tougher neighborhoods, and also helping a Racine street vendor by making his day-to-day job a little easier.
