Patti, their supervisor, said they all worked very hard.
There were some issues with noise level and some attitudes that were less than joyful during
the boring work but over-all she gave our team a 95% and welcome them back...only 2 or 3 at a time! LOL

She was pleased to have them. She was very impressed with Jessica and again Adam as they did the tasks without
question and did them well. She was very glad to meet Jessie and wants her back next month if she is available.
She did comment that Kazz and Katie work better when they do not work together. lol

She was pleased to have the Teen Team for the job and consider them a great asset.
The "top boss" of the DHS was impressed with our Team and gave Patti the go ahead to keep using them. :-)

Way To Go Guys!

Thank You and Great Volunteering!!

THIS IS OUR CALLING. WE SHALL ANSWER!

2007-11-13T07:16:00.000-08:00

The focus of this group is to provide service to our immediate community and also tend to our world community, wherever the need may be and wherever God may lead.

It is the goal of this member led group to foster volunteer opportunities for homeschooled teens. Meeting and helping community leaders, employees and community service leaders will foster friendships, a sense of duty and responsibility in our children.

This teen group will be Teen Led with Parental guidance. Parents are responsible for the welfare of their own child in all group activities.

Each year we hope to have a fund-raiser for two causes picked by the Teen Committee. In addition, throughout the year there will be opportunities to volunteer as “willing hands of help” in our community.

Whether cleaning a park, helping at an animal shelter or helping to set up or disassemble a community event, our group will be willing to help.

May our Lord Jesus lead us in our endeavors.

"I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something.
I will not refuse to do the something I can do."
