Back to Work...

Had a good 3-day weekend but don't have much to show for it. Saturday's Adopt-a-Block was mostly spent pulling weeds in the neighborhood. Today I went through my closet and gathered up some clothes to donate to the Katrina refugees. The Dream Center is taking in 300 families and most of them will arrive with nothing but the clothes they are wearing. They are scheduled to arrive in L.A. on Sept. 8th. My church is going to help them out by gathering as many supplies and monetary donations as we can. Check out the Dream Center's web page if you'd like to consider donating. They have a list of things they are in need of. We are also going to be sending some donations to a church in Houston we are working with. Phoenix currently has about 500 refugees we are housing at the Coliseum, with more expected to arrive tomorrow. It's really cool to see everyone pull together for these people.
