What a Week!
Wednesday, May 1st
Thursday. May 2nd
Had
a display table at the two-hour PACC Teacher Appreciation Night event and
talked to teachers about Rescued Critters Food Drive in addition to our One
Penny for
One Minute of Community Service program. Lots of interest and handed out lots
of flyers explaining our program.
Friday, May 3rd
The
four roll-offs showed up early Friday and when they left early Monday morning
they were stuffed to the brim. On Sunday, folks expressed how glad they were
that we have such a free program in the Miles Neighborhood.
Saturday, May 4th
Wore
my birthday gift tee shirt to Safeway and lost my invisibility. Several folks,
young and a little older, stopped and complimented me on my attire. “Shame you
can only ware it once a year,” a helpful clerk lamented.
Sunday, May, 5th ... A Twofer Day
Early in the morning, the ArizonaStar published Gloria Knott’s wonderful article which was almost four months in the making. I even thought the photo was quite good. Run your mouse over they copy and click on the link in the story to read Gloria’s full account.
This
week we donated 43.9 lbs. of pet food and $166.48 in cash and four checks. The
dollars were significant so I decided to check out were our tallies stood.
Another
Big Surprise!
Our annual goal is 4,333 lbs. of pet food. As of Monday, we have donated
exactly 4,296.9 lbs. Next week, which is Week 36, we only need—interestingly
enough—36.1 pounds to attain our goal. And that is going to be a piece of cake
since I already have a 30 lb. bag of cat food donated by Steven, my friend and
neighbor.
And
based on a 35-week average of 122.8 lbs., we can now project an annual total of
6,385.6 lbs. Instead of 2.2 tons, we are projected to donate a whopping 3.2
tons to PACC. The best part is, I couldn’t have done it without my generous
Miles neighbors.
Now
that we have a new goal in our future, let’s see how we destroy that one, too.
See
you Sunday,
