We began to make a real dent on the carton sorting. You see, a few months ago we sent a shipping container full of items of which most were directly distributed through CARITAS to the needy hospitals with which we work. Everything that we disperse directly, though (like educational supplies, etc) is brought here and put into the two storage rooms at either end of the facility. Those rooms were packed tightly upon our arrival and one of our goals is to leave the rooms empty, assuring that all of the donations make it to their designated locations. Joy C. – our Carton Queen – had her crew again moving boxes into staging areas for transportation out of here tomorrow with the various work crews (we have many scheduled for Friday!). Tomorrow morning Sr. Ligia coming with a truck around 11am to pick up the supplies designated for her three facilities. That will make a big dent in one of the storage rooms.

Paul R. and Tom removed the rest of the Somoza stones after lunch, Allen worked on more plumbing issues, painting of the balance of the rear porch continued with a few from this morning who had the drive to complete the task!

This morning’s assignment board looks a little different than others as everyone is on it multiple times. There are lots of short tasks to do in addition to our major painting jobs at the Children’s Hospital and here around the house.
