It's a rainy Thursday evening in Georgia. The morning started off with John and Sara getting everyone up and moving. Amber didn't have to go to work again today so everyone could sleep a bit longer--since no one was leaving at 5:45 am--which is 0 dark thirty to me!
The van left at 7:30. Steve was the driver this morning--again--we've had three double-days volunteers in a row-- THANK YOU ALL! The van took Tristan and Autumn to Bright Beginnings and then Christian to Rocksprings Community Center and Park for Summer Day Camp and then took Moms Amber and LaShawn to the IHN Day Center.
Sara did the laundry today. The next laundry duty will be on Sunday.
Erik was the On-Site Coordinator today and he unlocked the Pit, changed the sheets on the Host Room beds and set the table as he got ready to welcome volunteers and guests alike this evening. Denise came by to "reinstall" the curtain (aka a sheet) on the large window in a guest room. The night light is on just outside in the courtyard and the curtain has fallen down twice. She made sure it was stuck!
I went by to look for Lynn's key...which she lost when they were overnight hosts on Tuesday night. We hoped they would be under a host bed, but they were not. HAVE ANY OF YOU WHO WERE THERE WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY SEEN A KEY ON AN ORANGE/WHITE FLOTATION TYPE KEY CHAIN?? We are hoping perhaps someone turned it in to Judy. Let me (Kitty D.) know please if you've seen it.
Chuck was the afternoon van driver--his first time and of course he did a great job! He reported liking it and said he was "hooked, line and sinker"...so we will look forward to him driving in the future. Thanks for stepping up Chuck!
Tanna and Ann were evening hosts. Lisa and Paige brought a wonderful looking meal: fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, apple sauce and cookies. THANKS to you two and all who are such marvelous meal providers!
Denise and I went down the street to First Baptist for the monthly IHN Coordinators meeting with the IHN Staff and all the coordinators from other churches. We learned the good news that Amber and Tristan will move into their own apartment on Monday morning...exciting! Also LaShawn was called back for a second interview for a job.
Tonight's overnight hosts are Bob and Mary who celebrated their 54th wedding anniversary yesterday...they have been overnight hosts since IHN began! Congratulations--and gratitude to Mary and Bob.
I hope everyone sleeps well, stays dry and has a good rest of the week. God bless you one and all.
