Just forwarding this on. I’ll be there on Saturday if any of you would like to come and help.
Saturday, February 24, 9:00 AM – noon
Blackford School Planting 14 Trees
Meeting Location: 1970 Willow St. San Jose, 95125
We need 1-2 Tree Amigos and 20 volunteers.
Yesterday, since my mum was feeling under the weather, I drove her to Valley Fair. When she got in my car and looked around, she saw my two pairs of Keds covered in dirt. Then, the conversation goes as follows:
“Are those your shoes?”
“Yes.. they are in my car, aren’t they?”
“Was it from volunteering?” (After I quit my job and decided to be a Tree Amigo instead, she asked me if I was getting paid and then called me dumb basically.)
“Yes..”
“Why do you do such dirty work, Millie? Why can’t you just get a job again? A clean job.”
She doesn’t appreciate my efforts.
