National Day of Service -- we haz a tired!
Our local teams had quite a day!
We had crews at the Humane Society, at the homeless shelter, at the transitional housing facility, and at the battered women's shelter. We helped with grounds cleanup and a library project at one of our schools. We sorted donated clothing at the interfaith clothing bank, and helped sort and display merchandise at an ARC store. We cooked and delivered a meal to a disabled veteran and his wife, and painted the big room made available for public use at the UU Church. Our biggest team went to the food bank and stuffed 800 kids backpacks and assembled several hundred emergency food boxes.
We are tired. We are also exhilarated. On Monday we'll gather to watch and celebrate the inauguration. Then we'll meet to make plans for more local days of service.
Yes WE can. Yes WE did. Yes WE will.

I overslept an 8:00 am food serving gig but made it to a farmers market produce gig at noon.
Thank you, and K/R.
an Allergist so my whole day was taken up with that. But, I love hearing about others who did participate in the very special part of Pres Obama's 2nd Inaugurtion Celebration.
