Also includes some general travel tidbits that are just good to know even if you're not doing service work!

another #volunteering with #MealsOnWheels Thursday. Other than finding out 1 senior went into the hospital, it was uneventful visits with 15 “clients” seniors who all seemed happy to see me with some anxious about the weather.
Today’s #volunteering for #MealsOnWheels was a bit heartbreaking, I was informed one of the seniors passed away after a brief hospital stay. I will greatly miss the 15-20 minutes talks Irene & I had every Tuesday & Thursday over the past few years. I made sure to talk to each senior a little longer during today’s visits.
Trail work with the Bigfoot Trail Alliance was cut short after the 2AM lightning storm that has apparently lit off 19 fires in the #MarbleMountainWilderness including this one among the Sky High Lakes. The air was actually clearer in the basin even though it had it's own smoke source.

If you're an organization who puts out a call for #volunteers, and someone responds who has the required experience/skills, and then you don't get back to them at all but then repeat the same call for volunteers in the next newsletter -- idk but that's not a good look!?
clearly the #volunteering slots have not all been filled since you just sent the call out again. at least tell me I'm not a good fit or whatever.
