Last task: Say goodbye to everyone
Today was my last day at Alvis House, and it feels so strange to be leaving. I spent forty hours a week for ten weeks in this office and got to know a lot of interesting, funny, intelligent, and genuinely … Continue reading
The incredible spirit of Columbus
Today was the final closing luncheon for the 2013 Fellowship, and I have to say: it was amazing. All of the Fellows had been giving each other updates on their projects and what they were experiencing at their organizations throughout … Continue reading
Shutting Down in BizTown
The first day I sat in the Foundation for orientation, ten weeks stretched out ahead of me. And now I am in week ten. Not to be cliche – but I blinked. I look back over the past few months … Continue reading
One More Try
I don’t know how many times I can sit down to almost write a blog post about Family Night at RELC. I’ve written 3/4 of a post half a dozen times, but it never quite feels right, so I inevitably scrap … Continue reading
After All This Time? Always.

Be kind, leave notes!
Week nine of the fellowship was spent mainly distributing surveys at Lutheran Social Services, Hilltop YMCA, and Gladden Food Pantry. I enjoyed going out and meeting people living on the west side. It was a good experience for an MSW … Continue reading
Saying goodbye to ETSS Summer Camp
Last week was an extremely busy week for me at ETSS Summer Camp. Both sites were planning an end-of-summer celebration and needed to prepare foods and supplies for the parties. Over the at East site, the kids and I worked … Continue reading
Traveling to Italy for Pasta Salad!
The kids at ETSS Summer Camp have been very fortunate to be able to try so many different recipes this summer. This week, they made pasta salad as well as a Tofu Maple Syrup Dip. The week began with the … Continue reading
