In addition to being Earth week this is WVU Center for Civic Engagement's "Week of Engagement". Today we staffed an information table at the Mountain Lair from 11am to 2pm. Many people came through on their way to lunch but only a few stopped. One of them is interested and enthusiastic being a new volunteer for us. That's all it takes to make it worth the time. In addition we connected with volunteers from other organizations and got to spend some quality time with the great staff at CCE.
Just a few pictures that happened to be in my camera chip that I thought I'd include here. This picture was taken last Thursday as I was picking up helmets from Rock Forge to take to our homeschooler bike safety clinic. These madly pedaling toddlers raised $1100 for a cancer fund to help their friend. Do you suppose we could raise that kind of money by going around in circles?
And finally, over the weekend I took off after work to ride out the Mon river trail to Little Falls and this is what it looked like there, with the tree buds just starting to come out. By today I suspect the trees are all fully in leaf.
