Sunny and warm today with highs in the low 80’s.
The bookstore had a summer camp group at the church down the street come in and do some volunteer work today. We scheduled it for today since we closed. It would too much to try to handle them plus customers.
15 young folks along with a chaperon and the young associate pastor who runs the program. They ranged in age from 6th grade through 12th about half girls and half boys.
We divided them into three groups of 5. Joyce had one of the older groups in the back annex helping here. Pat had the other older group working with her on a book shelf project and I had the middle age group doing cleaning. They cleaned the benches outside the store, the railings that go to the downstairs, and swept the front. We then had them vacuum the hallway and the inside of the store.
They dusted shelves and straightened shelves. Whew, lots of energy but they did a great job. They left at noon, Pat, Joyce, and I then went to lunch at the Pizzeria.
I need to deadhead some flowers and check the ground and pots to see if things need watered.
