Make My Day!

Hello Everyone!

Thank you for reading the Community Connections blog! We have had a few very exciting weeks and we are busy at work volunteering out in the community.

Two weeks ago the Palo Alto Weekly heard about our Make My Day program and came and did a story on our work. It was so exciting to be photographed and interviewed. Our participants had picked up the flowers, arranged them on center and then delivered them with a card and cookies to Dan Logan in Palo Alto. It was such a celebration and Dan was so very happy.

Our participants really love this work.

We also started our first volunteer project at our own building. All of the participants are involved in this new project. We are putting together shipping materials for a non profit agency in San Jose. We size up the bubble wrap and make it ready for shipping. In one day alone we filled eight garbage bags full of usable bubble wrap. We were so productive and everyone felt great about getting so much work done!

We will also start another new partnership next month....so stay tuned!

Thanks for reading.
