I am excited! Tomorrow I am going to look at some scrap metal that a blogger from White Pigeon is willing to donate. I need to look at the size of the job to assess how long it will take and what equipment is needed so that I can schedule the time to do the job efficiently and safe.
The supermarket customer that has been donating to me going on 4 years now has 21 stores and this week 3 of them called to request pick up of various metal items. I am thankful that the store managers are thinking of me when they have scrap metal. In the fall when it is time to buy Thanksgiving turkey certificates, I buy them from the same supermarket. It seems to be working real well for everybody.
My wife and I went to grab a bite to eat and I ran into the person that gave me my first opportunity to serve. About 6 years ago, I offered to organize and produce a bike rodeo for the children's ministry at our church. Helmet fitting, rules of the road, bike inspection kind of stuff. I felt right at home getting volunteers, asking businesses to donate door prizes and seeing all of the kids learn safe biking tips.
This week, I offered to set up another bike rodeo for the school corporation that my three children attend (ed) for next spring as part of a three program package. The other two parts are a presentation to parents of newly licensed (teenage) drivers. Eight teenagers die a day, over 3,000 a year from automobile accidents. I taught drivers education for 10 years and have now helped my children through "the rite of passage", so it is time to share what I have learned and try to help other parents become more involved in keeping their teen drivers safe.
I am looking for blogger number 2 who has scrap metal that they want to donate, so that I can continue to feed, clothe and educate children in the Michiana area.
Please become a follower and tell others about what Donation Station is doing to assist people that are in need of assistance.
