Nov. 27, 2006 - Changes are good...right?
Last week, the director and I got together to discuss a couple of things that had sorta "popped up" in the food bank ministry, and we decided that we needed more privacy in the prayer room. It sits (or sat) between the welcome center and the actual food bank room. So all through the prayer time, volunteers would be walking back and forth from the welcome center to the food bank, and vice versa, while we tried to pray and talk about their needs. 
Now the volunteers have to do what they have to do...so it's not their fault. But, we needed for each visitor to have some privacy. You just never know what they're going to be sharing, ya know?? 
So, the director and I spent all evening (it's now 12:26AM and I just got home 
) turning her office into a quiet room (which has a door we can close and lock, but a window so people can see inside the room) and put her office in the supply room. This room is just AWESOME! I'm so jealous! 
Okay, maybe not too jealous...it's just an awesome room. Five sets of cabinets that close and hide your office supplies, a full wall of desk-high counter space, already drilled out for computer usage, two big windows...it's just perfect. She's excited, and I'm excited for her. She's gonna love it in there...and I'm going to love the privacy we'll have in our new quiet room. 
I'm starving, but afraid to eat this late...so off to bed.
