Forrest and Elaine got our guests up and moving this morning to face a hot day in Georgia. We are grateful to have a college boy give a night to help IHN--and his Mom too of course.
Chuck drove the van and got all where they needed to be when they needed to be there.
Madeline was the On-Site Coordinator and was at the church to make sure all was going to be ready for our guests arrival. Always busy, she also had a Red Cross representative to meet with about future plans. Not only is Madeline our IHN Overnight Host Coordinator she is our Parish Nurse--and much more. While she was meeting dear Sara beat her to the draw and made the Host beds--thanks Sara!
Jayne was once again the afternoon van driver and I know Lee and family were delighted to see her smiling face again!
Terry and Margaret were the Evening Hosts and provided a warm and welcoming atmosphere for the evening and the nice dinner. Terry read board books to the boys and they read along with her multiple times. All three children had fun making animal sounds inspired by a Mo Willems book. Margaret took photos of a peaceful, restful ZZ when she fell asleep on the beanbag--tomorrow is her first birthday!
Meal preparers Rhea and Jessica decided an "end of summer picnic" was in order. They had chicken fingers, mac and cheese, baked beans, tomato and cucumber salad, applesauce, and ice cream bars and jello. Sounds delightful and know it was very good! We have the best food preparers.
As the evening wound down John and Sara were there to spend the night. Hope everyone sleeps well. Thanks to each of you for what you do for our guests--it makes such a difference in their lives. Your kindness and effort is not forgotten.
