We're off to a great start!

Welcome to 2011 Everyone!

We are well into our third year of our Community Connections program and we are off to a terrific start for 2011.

The year began getting back to all of our partnerships after the holidays. The NCEFT Horse Ranch was especially happy to have us back as they are under construction and needed a lot of help in the barn!

We also have a lot of work to do at Haven House in Menlo Park. The shelter was overwhelmed with donations over the holidays and it is our responsibility to organize and separate all of the donations.

At the Inn Vision Homeless Shelter on the Veteran's Hospital campus in Menlo Park, we have been busy unloading food trucks, sorting groceries and making food baskets. It's a lot of work but well worth the effort!

We also returned to the Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo. We are preparing food for the animals, cleaning cages and doing general upkeep at the zoo. We have even been asked to help out at one of their large parties.

In our educational program, we are holding math and reading classes at the Mountain View Community Center. It's great for our participants to be in a classroom setting out in the community.

As you can see, we are off to a great start for 2011. Stayed tuned as we will have a lot more to report!

Thanks for reading.
