15/10/09 - Olympia, WA, USA 10/15/2009
  We spent most of our time at the Olympia Shelter doing laundry, but also did the clean up of the dining room hall after lunch was over. I have to say Roland is defiantely better at folding than I am! They have been understaffed the last few days so there was a backlog. What they had us do was after washing and drying the linen, we made up bundles of a fitted sheet, flat sheet and pillow case. Then when a new client is checking in they get their linen (all ready to go) for their bed. This shelter is currently going through a transition period to better assist the needs of their community, with changes to who they provide shetler to and also preparing for major renovations which they are very excited about. Thanks to Mike, Cherie and Jeannie for settling us in. CommentsHelen Fri, 16 Oct 2009 02:54:30 Luverly folding! I'll remember that! Does Mt Rainier look really good from Olympia?

Part of what we wish to accomplish over the next year is not only the cycling, but also giving back to the communities which we will pass through.  ArchivesAugust 2010 Categories |
