Today's Set-Up at Westwood: 4/8/11

Karen, Mary, Ildy & Pia headed over to Westwood Transitional Village this morning at 9 AM to set up a small two-bedroom, one bath apartment for a vet, his wife and two children, Darrin and Amber. It was a second floor unit and the two fellows who normally give us a hand hauling the stuff into the apartments were unable to help today so it was a lot of carrying and climbing to get all the items up to the 2nd floor. The fruit on the dining room table looks great and is from Ildy. That's always a nice addition to any set-up.

Karen reported that it went really well and quickly and they were all finished by 11:45.

Lisa had her twice monthly 'Open Bin' day today and we were surprised that it was sunny. Yay! We had two drop-offs...one from Wendy Skolfield's husband who brought some great bags from Wendy's company and the other from TWC volunteer, Gabrielle Lamirand. It was especially good to see Gabrielle as she's mega-busy with Canyon Sages. If you don't know about the Sages and all the good programs they've started here in the Canyon for seniors or you know someone who may benefit from this program, drop her a line at canyonsages@gmail.com
and she'll put you or your friend on the mailing list. We also had a couple of folks stop by and inquire about TWC. That's always good and I think by setting up our card table and working outside on sorting all the books, it kind of piqued folks' curiosity.

Here are some photos that better explain than my words what went on today.




















And here's a picture of Lisa learning how to close the storage unit after her 'Open Bin' today...it's tricky at the best of times!
