Monday March 24, 2014
 Today was spent mostly in preparation for a Hearts Of Gold Volunteer Appreciation supper/meeting at Fabiano's on Presidente Cordova 4-84.  Beer, salad and pizza were the order of the day.
Richard, Sheryle, and Melinda put on some presentations to show some of the projects we have been, and still are, involved in, and also gave us some hints as to upcoming fundraisers to come.  A barn dance sounds like a lot of fun....
We got introduced to some new volunteers in the upper echelons of the growing organization which now has many Government hoops to jump through since it became a legal charitable foundation.   It is good that we have some very qualified persons in these key positions now.
Certificates of Appreciation were handed out to us old volunteers along with yummy chocolate and a HoG carry bag.
 I will go into the new office on Wednesday and get back in the saddle...
Hope you enjoy the photos.  That was the day's excitement,   Cheers, Al 

I was very impressed with this mural

and Fabiano's pizza is very popular

Old and new volunteers gathered

There was a good turnout

The Powerpoint presentation centered on our present programs

The crowd was very attentive

From seniors to children, HoG has reached out

Many volunteers go right to the sites

There is no doubt about the difference HoG makes

Even proper nutrition helps students attain better grades

This was the message of the evening
