Halloween party!

We had our great Halloween party that the the Olympia Center was invited to. Thanks to Sharon (RSVP) for dressing as the “evil volunteer” decorated in all red with black lipstick and nail polish! Blake (VCW Team Supervisor) got down with his gangsta’ self in the pin striped suite and fedora. Overall, the team pulled off a great potluck party and we have plenty of food left over to keep us on a sugar high until Christmas.

Jumping ahead a bit, I am starting to think about interesting MLK day projects on Jan. 17th. I want to meet a need in the community. I think the challenge will be engaging people after Christmas, which is when most people are spent on their money and time. I think we can really pull together as a team and find something useful and engaging that will make a difference in our communities.

Thanks for all of you who participated in the conference call. It sounds like people are looking forward to IST, and I think you will get a lot out of it! I look forward to talking will all of you soon.
