SPROG 4 months ago

I’m reading books to 5 and 6 year olds one hour per week this summer for SPROG.



OASIS 4 months ago

I agreed to be an advisor for our new community OASIS center—hard to refuse a nice letter from the mayor and the director of the library asking me to do it! OASIS provides volunteer opportunities and education for people over 50. I’ve been to one meeting and they seemed to like my suggestions. I’ve committed to attending two or three meetings a year and to throwing ideas their way whenever I have them.



2009 10 months ago

In 2009, I will continue to attend dialogue and book club meetings of the Community for Understanding and Healing that was formed after the tragic shooting at Kirkwood City Hall. I will add another book club to that—a series sponsored by the public library called Let’s Talk About It, Love and Forgiveness in the Light of Death.



Two things today 11 months ago
  • wrote a letter to the editor
  • accepted an invitation to be part of the planning for a Book Club by the local library. Our library got an ALALet’s Talk About It grant. We’ll be doing the Love and Forgiveness in the Light of Death topic in response to the City Hall shooting earlier this year.


This week 17 months ago
Chautauqua:
I’m stage director for all four of the major performances, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings and the Sunday matinee. Also:
  • lunch program today
  • meeting this afternoon
  • lunch program tomorrow
  • possibly another meeting tomorrow afternoon

Community for Understanding and Healing:
March behind the lawn chair brigade in the Meacham Park Neighborhood parade on Saturday morning

I’d say this is about as involved as I’m capable of!



Party 17 months ago

I went to a party last night with a bunch of people I don’t know. But they’re food bloggers so we ate well and talked about blogging and I got some sourdough starter. Just the kinds of things I want from a community.
