Incoming Freshman: It's not too late to sign up for the 14th annual Day of Service! (you may also fill out page 57 of the Big Book of Forms).

Welcome freshman and Baby Bonners!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. I spent several days tabling for the Benefit Bank at the Lorain County Fair. I had a lot of fun talking to my fellow tabelers about such things as pig farms, tattoos, the history of Elyria, and the Bee Barn. We handed out a lot of literature encouraging people to check their eligibility, but didn't do so many quick checks or applications.
2. I went to the Cleveland meeting of Voices for Ohio's Children. Hopefully I'll be able to make that another post, because I'd really like to share what I learned.
3. But first I should clean my car and find all the hand-outs they gave us.
4. I went to my first Second Harvest Farmer's Market. Or rather, I learned the difference between the two Oberlin Roads that run parallel to each other but end in radically difference places in the county. I showed up embarrassingly late and frustrated, only to be completely charmed by the Ohio Benefit Bank van crew, Russell and Erin.
5. I seriously need to investigate a GPS.
6. Welcome Baby Bonners!!! And welcome freshman! The possibilities are endless. :)
7. I forget what 7 was supposed to be.
8. The LEADS Economic Challenge happened on Friday. I was thrilled to see the game come to life, and I can't wait to add in the suggestions I got to the rules for when the Baby Bonners play it.
9. Tomorrow Sam (Second Harvest North Central VISTA) and I leave for Columbus for the big Benefit Bank conference.
10. I'm hoping that as my thoughts about this whole poverty thing coalesce, my blog posts will become more coherent. I can't help but feel the reflections and discussions I am leading are scattered because my own thoughts are so scattered.
