It is an early start on Sunday during the IHN host week. The take down crew arrived a little before 7:00 am. Winston and Natalie were up and ready. They said it had been a quiet night after a fun movie. Their response to our appreciation "All we did was sleep!"
The take down crew was helped immensely by Roger on Friday. He removed the furniture from both the guest rooms that were used by the two families that moved out on Thursday. Not only that but he replaced the furniture--using the photos taken by Candice prior to last Sunday's set up for just this purpose.
The McCartney family--who are experts in take-down after helping during all our 2013 host weeks--did their usual good job. Denise and Kitty were the rest of the crew. All the beds and bins were at the door ready to go on the truck...but where oh where was the truck?? It arrived later than usual. But fortunately in time to call Dr Sherman and let him know he did not have to go to the Day Center and look for the number, as he had so graciously offered to do. The truck was loaded, the hallways were cleared and another host week was almost a wrap.
Kitty drove Sherry and her family to the Day Center. After church Maggie and Virginia arrived to be the Day Center Hosts from 1:00 until 5 pm. Virginina is one of our "Wee Readers" and she read to the children during the afternoon.
Kitty took Elizabeth to work at 4 pm and came back to leave the van and say good bye to Sherry, Johnathan and Mary. Maggie and Virginia will leave them in the good hands of Sherri and the volunteers at First Baptist Church for next week. Though they won't be at our church--they will remain in our prayers.
Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make it a good week. It takes everyone to make this happen. Our next week is November 3 - 10, 2013. See you then!
