Tuesday morning got off to an early start, with Jayne picking up the guests at 6:45 and getting everyone to the right place on time--no easy task! Although Tuesday is an "off" day for the Mom who usually needs to be at work by 7:30 am.
2 kids are taken to Whit Davis Elementary by 7:15 am
2 kids are taken to Clarke Middle School by 7:45 am
2 children are taken to Bright Beginnings
Everyone else goes to the Day Center
Jayne said she was enjoying talking with the guests so much that she stayed quite a while and enjoyed it very much--and I'm sure the guests did as well.
Overnight hosts Natalie and Barbara did a great job of getting everyone up and ready on time, and of making sure the Volunteer Room beds, medicine cabinet, bins with sheets and towels, calendar, notebook, etc was moved OUT of the room into the Children's Ministry Suite for the day. A Weekday School class uses the "volunteer bedroom" during the day. Thanks Natalie and Barbara for spending the night AND moving things out!!
Barb went by FPC to get the volunteer sheets & towels and take them home to wash. Alas, no clear plastic box with label "IHN dirty laundry" and no dirty laundry! DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE THE LAUNDRY MIGHT BE? Barb took last night's sheets from the beds, so her trip was not in vain!
Madeline was the On Site/On Call Coordinator for Tuesday. She moved the furniture back into the volunteer room, and greeted the Evening Hosts Jeannie and Bobby.
Susan brought a delicious meal of Pork Loin, Beans, Baked Potatoes, Biscuits, Vegetarian options and a Cream Cheese Pound Cake. Madeline raved about how good it was--and so did the guests.
During the evening Ethan constructed quite a domino chain--with Bobby cheering him on! Madeline sent a video--which I tried to upload, without success. Neither could I remove it, as you can see from above. :( I need a kid to help me with technology!
Crystal and family returned to the church and there was food waiting for them.
Madeline returned to spend the night along with Winston. They had a quiet evening. All is well.
