. Work with 2 of my volunteer groups is heating up, and these days, my rallies, demonstrations, phone calls and letter writing is very much another p/t job, so I guess you could say 3 of my volunteer groups are heating up.
I am very excited to have succeeded in building consensus between my environmental group and another nonprofit here in town that seeks to protect a certain river that is a sole source aquifer and supplies drinking water to half the population.
More recently, I joined a book club and the person who heads it up is none other than the chair of the river group. We got to talking about a certain thing we observed on the river that we both recognize is a problem. He was very excited about the possiblity of partnering with us to tackle it. I was ready to make a presentation to pitch the idea at our meeting this past week, but too many people could not make the meeting. Nonetheless, I got buy-in from 2 key people and finally got the go-ahead to invite the river man to come to our next meeting for further discussion.
In my 2nd volunteer group, I also scored a win by recruiting someone to act as our group's treasurer. We are desperate for board members; he's got a lot of good experience. Someone else may be bringing on 2 more new members whom we have yet to meet.
In the more immediate term, we have a beach litter cleanup this weekend, and then I organized another cleanup in another town for late April. I'm picking up more of the detail work that our former exec director did. I have to write a donor acknowledgement letter, and after that create a flyer to publicize the 2nd town cleanup on social media. A lot to do. I don't have a graphic design background, so that part of it has been a bit of a struggle.
Not much else new at the moment. Just trying to watch my spending and maintain my exercise and healthy diet habits.
