Yesterday, I worked in the kitchen, and assembly room (clubhouse), preparing and serving a luncheon. I was a "helper"--obviously not the organizer. ~~ Last night: A birthday party for one of the volunteers. We had a nice gathering and I had the opportunity to get better acquainted with other volunteers.
Today, my assignment included phoning individuals who have expressed interest in volunteering in the United States, and foreign countries. When asked if I might like to continue making calls, I said that I'm willing to do whatever needs to be done. So-o-o-o, I might be on the phones, on a regular basis, for the foreseeable future. Many volunteers are off on Friday, I'll be working on the phones tomorrow.
I started this blog (at 3:30 PM) after putting laundry in two machines. It's now 7:15 and I've just returned from a social outing to CiCi's Pizza. Thirteen of us... but (I'm told) fifty to one-hundred Wycliffe Associates each Thursday evening in January. This is such a nice, friendly, kind, group of workers!! I feel so privileged to mingle with them!!
While in CiCi's I was told that residents' in the RV Park can put things in the large refrigerator in the laundry room. And we can use the kitchen in the Clubhouse. I'm always pleasantly surprised at all the amenities!! The washing machines, and dryers, are free--in the beautiful laundry room. There are ironing boards, and irons, if I need to "touch up" some of my garments. It appears that every consideration has been taken for the comfort of the volunteers.
There will be a Thanksgiving dinner next Thursday--sponsored by Wycliffe (no charge--but donations are welcome).

Cici's; we have one right by the house, and go there when we need a quick, cheap meal. I truly enjoy the pizza italiano thin crust, and their salad. May have to do that this weekend now that you mentioned it. So glad to hear you're in a good place. D
ReplyDeleteBTW, I see it's 59 there in Orlando; 40 just up the road in north Florida. 75 here later today, 78 there. Only a degree colder up towards the Nubble Light. But that'll change!
