The group was great this morning; up at 6:30 (5:30 Lombard time!) for a quick continental breakfast then out the door for Orland, ME. We arrived at 10, and by 10:45 were deployed in work groups, some doing some demolition work, some moving and storing wood cut in HOME's sawmill, some organizing and cleaning in the food pantry, and some others cleaning out a barn and unloading two semis full of donations.
We're learning quite a bit about Sister Lucy, the woman who started HOME in 1970, and the very special community of people she has gathered around her to do this important work. Our gang is remarkably sensitive to the work being done and to the notion that a persitent love and a strong vision can make a difference that matters in the lives of so many.
Up at 6:30 tomorrow morning, off to the work sites by 8, and another rainy day forecast for Maine.
