loracs | Very Busy Weekend

I started the day with a board meeting (missed you

cassidyrose and I'll get the notes out soon.)
Then I went to work unti around 6 pm. I had to get ready for tomorrow's Open House. Did you know July is National Parks and Recreation Month - well it is (would I lie about such a thing) and every day of the month one of the centers has an open house. Lucky us to get one of the hottest days of the year. It's going in the high 80's. Our center does have A/C, but I'll be rushing around photographing, replenishing, the snack table and schmoozing that I know I'll be hot and sweaty most of the day. Or at least I hope we are busy enough to keep me moving. We're getting "graded" on this. Our supervisor and possibly a few other staff will give us points for each expectation we fulfill. For example, 1 point if staff are wearing the new OPR t-shirts. And if we have a "greeter". And how many folks stop by.

So if you're in the area (downtown Oakland) and you want to come check out our arts program, please do so. It's from noon - 4 pm. We have a kids (of all ages) art play area, demo's in some of the departments (I don't remember which, I am so tired), a magician around 12:30 pm I think and some live piano playing for about an hour, if the piano is tuned up enough.

All I have to do tonight is put a display board together. I have the photos printed and cut, now I just have to lay it out and add some verbiage. And get some plates/bowls together for the food.

I am so ready for bed!
