I am still working at USP as an executive secretary in the Standards Operations division. I've also started working as a Creative Memories consultant, since I really enjoyed putting together my first full scrapbook. I'm going to do a yearly family album as well as doing a "school days" album for each child. Steph is excited to help me with her album, and it's a nice way to save the pictures we take as well as recording what was going on when the pictures were taken.
Steph started kindergarten at St. Louis this fall, so I am sure I will have lots of opportunities to work with other school parents on various projects. I already participated in the annual gift wrap fundraiser, and will probably continue to do so (the fundraising goes on all year with online purchases, not just the catalog-based drive at the beginning of the school year.) St. Louis held their first annual Wine Tasting fundraiser on March 27, which I worked. Ken, Mom, Darcy, Victor, Brian and I all attended, and had a really good time. Decanter Wine Wines in Columbia sponsored the tasting and had order forms for all of the beers and wines that were available for sampling. Ten percent of the purchase price was donated to the school. We haven't gotten the final numbers yet, but based on the turnout and response from the attendees, I'm sure it was very successful. Because of working full time, it's been tough to meet other parents at the school, so volunteering in the classroom when I can or at HSA events is bringing me in contact with a lot of new people.
Darcy and I are trying to do at least 6 charity walks this year, and now that Spring is approaching, we have more opportunities. So far, we've signed up for the March of Dimes WalkAmerica on May 2, the arthritis walk on May 8, and Race for the Cure on June 5.
