Wednesday Overnight hosts Sara and John roused all the guests, so they could get on the Van in time to make the rounds. Then they moved the bed and the rest of the IHN things out of the volunteer bedroom. There is now a photo as to how the room is to be re-set. We appreciate the patience of the Weekday school staff as we learn what goes where!
Richard arrived in time to leave with the Van at 6:45, so no one is late to work or school. He made the rather complicated route and the day begins.
Denise was both the On Site/On Call Coordinator and the afternoon Van driver. She went by the church in the afternoon and got the furniture back in the volunteer room, and changed the sheets.
Then she made the pick ups at the Day Center and Bright Beginnings and took everyone back to the church.
Everyone that is except Jill, Christopher and Ethan. Christopher had a drawing hung in the gallery at the Lamar Dodd School of Art and the opening of the show was tonight. They went, along with other Clarke County Middle School Students and Parents to see the good work the students had done. I went by the Art School and spoke to the CCMS Art teacher and he said what a pleasure it was to work with Christopher. Christopher started an Art Club at the school--that's a great thing! Having a piece exhibited is something to celebrate. Yeah Christopher!
Judy and Julie had prepared a delicious vegetarian chili with all the "fixings". The church was reported to have smelled wonderful all day as it cooked in a crock pot in the kitchen!! There was also meat in a separate dish for those who wanted it. Along with cole slaw and sugar cookies. Our meal preparers have done a super job all week of accommodating everyones needs.
After a rather quick dinner Denise and Crystal's family were off to go to a meeting at 6:30, for a program they are taking. Getting them to the right place on time, Denise then went to the UGa School of Art to pick up Jill and her sons at 7:00 and take them back to the Church for a late--but very tasty--dinner. Before long Denise left to pick up Crystal, Yemisi and Josiah at 8:30 and take them back to FPC. With all present and accounted for Denise headed home. CHEERS for Denise, for doing a great Van driving job this afternoon and evening with a lot of "back and forthing."
Madeline was back to spend the second night, this time with Lynn. They reported everything was fine, except Yemisi is missing the stem from her eyeglasses to her ear. Hopefully that can be fixed soon.
During the night Christina and one of the twins were up in the wee hours watching a movie. That makes getting up early the next morning difficult!
