Well the Walk Now for Autism (http://www.walknowforautism.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=289038) was a big success (although it was quite chilly in the a.m.) 2,500 walkers and about $157,000 raised. That was kind of a bigger project so I'm looking forward to some smaller ones.
Last night, I raided the toy and trinket aisles at Dollar Tree and got about 20 items (stickers, baby socks, puzzles, balls, etc.) for my sister's friend Bo who is traveling to Korea later this week. She is going and visiting the orphanage that she once lived in and is taking a variety of items for the kids. I know Tierney threw in some coloring books and such.
Saturday is my first day at the new Miracle League baseball park (http://www.kiwanismiracleleague.org/). I hope I get to be a "buddy" instead of working the concession stand AND that's it's not as humid as it has been.
Only July 2, I'll be going to the Des Moines Symphony Yankee Doodle Pops viewing party (http://www.dmsymphony.org/). I went last year as a guest of one of the board members and it was a lot of fun hanging out on the terrace of the State Historical Museum watching fireworks. I'll also be making a donation to the group.
And last but not least, I finally found a hands-on animal group that I can volunteer for...Animal Lifeline of Iowa (http://www.animal-lifeline.com/). A co-worker and my dentist are both volunteers and they assure me its not depressing and sad. It's a no-kill shelter and some of the pets stay there all their lives. I'm totally in love with this guy tho (http://www.animal-lifeline.com/adoptionanimal/animals/keno.htm). He might have to come home with me.
