My term is ending a few short days. My last big duty was to plan Family Volunteer Day. This was the first year our volunteer center had done anything for Family Volunteer Day. That should not be a surprise since we are celebrating our 2 year anniversary this month. What was a surprise was that we managed to pull off 3 projects in one day!
The event was held in the YMCA's gym and had different stations for the projects. The projects were: fleece blankets for children and babies in low income families, holiday cards for veterans, and dog toys for shelter animals. Turn out could have been better, but it was the first nice day of weather after 2 weeks of storms and a Saturday.
We ended up with 47 blankets, 20 cards that passed inspection, and 22 dog toys. A few tips: for the blankets- have the fabric store cut them to legnth, cards- train your leaders to be hawks about what goes inside the card, dog toy- get a rotary cutter to cut the sheets in to strips or you'll hand will be killing you (don't ask).
A quick note: I had a great time this year and I really loved hanging out with you guys at the IST's. I wish you guys all the best.
