A quiet week
Three of the staff are out of the office this week and camp is over so things are quiet and slow at Emmaus House. It's great. I have been working on various projects here and there. Right now I am making up an information sheet about Emmaus House that will be translated into Spanish. Next week four of us are going to go up and talk with the Hispanic community, I am really looking forward to doing that. Also next week I am going to work with the assistant director to research some of the vacant houses and lots in the neighborhood. About 49% of the buildings in the NPU (neighborhood planning unit) are vacant. Yesterday I coordinated a group of youth volunteers from three different states. Three of the volunteers were from Elkhart Faith UMC! The youth finished up some painting jobs and then played a game with the seniors. Next week I will coordinate for the volunteers for the whole week. Wow, it looks like I am going to be very busy next week!

Tonights is the monthly community supper and I have just been asked to help set up for it. Off I go to do that!
