That's great! November 28, 2005 5:17 PM

Thanks for contributing. I really like the idea of the "free" balnkets, too! A couple other things environmental (and other) groups often give out are backpacks & sports/water bottles, both of which are always appreciated by the homeless. ~Deb  [ send green star]

My trip to NY got bumped to the week of the 22nd, so I've signed up to attend the SAMM Volunteer Orientaion next Thursday evening. I'll be the "scout ant" on this one and report back to the group on the experience.  [ send green star]
 
RE: Orientation February 05, 2006 10:59 PM

In case you're wondering why I never followed up on the this, I wasn't able attend last month's orientation afterall. (Got stuck at work late that evening.) I've rescheduled for the Feb. 9th session. Will let you know my impressions afterward.

Any brave souls who may want to attnd the orientation themselves can follow the link listed in the thread (above) to schedule participation. ~Deb  [ send green star]
