Heading home. So proud of us. At 4:30 pm—1h before event start—our tool hauler called: no power @ the storage space, can’t get tools, bike, & trailer. She drove to 2 board members’ houses to borrow tools & we got the word out to our leader corps to bring whatever they had. And we did it! We got 20 #volunteers w < 24h notice. Can’t wait to share the before/after pics w y’all.

I had planned to work Power Plant Kudzu Part 2 today, but I woke up with a cold. 🤧

Today was quite busy, though: in addition to this morning's work event run by Leaders Colleen, Debbie, & Cameron, President Judd ran our table at the Alexandria Health & Wellness Fair; & then he & Co-founder Josephine ran our annual Fireflies & Bats Walk event for 60 attendees.
