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
