All tell you folk tails latter. So I have decided that am going to be a camp counselor for camp glow. The coordinators have asked us to drop a line to everyone and ask if their are any donations that they can give. We need money for supplies, food, security. They will also take supply donations. Here is the website for Camp GLOW its, campglow.com. So if you would like to do that you can email me at alliekat_swing@yahoo.com and I will ask what the best way is to get your donation to them.
Today we also talked about the VAC (Volunteer Advisory Council) they are basically advocates for volunteers and make sure that any or are concerns are talked about. They travel to St. Lucia to meet with the other VAC their is one from each island. Any who I would really like this position so I am going to do everything that I can to get that spot when the time comes. Thats all of my fun for the night . I will add that I am having problems with yet another electronic device what a shock that is but it could possibly effect my blogging we will just have to see. My computer charger is getting me vex and not working all of the time. So if you do not see a post every day that is why. I will be trying to use my Ipad but I do not have wifi at my home stay so that will be hard. I pray that it will stop being stupid. we will see.
