WELCOME TO MY weB-LOG

Hello and welcome to this exciting little piece of data. I will be capturing a quick view of what a member does on a daily basis in a first year, full term AmeriCorps position.
I will be writing up digests of my daily interactions within my position and participating in service events on Fridays and some Saturdays.
Hints and tips will also be provided, based on my thoughts and observations.
Feel free to give me feedback at steve.oetting@yahoo.com.

AMERICORPS GEAR TO BRING FOR FRIDAY EVENTS

This is a great time to inform you of what you may want to bring for Friday Service Events.
If you know me at all, you'll figure out real quick that I am a Boy Scout.  An Eagle Scout, in fact actually.  What I am getting at is that I am typically prepared for Friday events with supplies.
Now these supplies aren't amazing things but they do get the job done.

For example, EACH WEEK I HAVE THESE SUPPLIES WITH ME:
-a back pack
-a hat
-a pair of gloves or 2
-a water bottle
-my insurance card, just in case
-my ID and some cash, just in case
-maybe even a snack?
-safety glasses
-sun block/insect repellent?


WHAT YOU MAY WANT TO WEAR:
-AmeriCorps shirt (whether a t-shirt or hoodie)
-pants you don't care what will happen to them (ie paint, ripping, etc)
-shoes capable of getting dirty or destroyed, but they must also be able to keep you safe
THIS MEANS NO FLIPPY FLOPPIES.
-Again, I wear a hat because of working outside.
-No matter what, make sure you're dressed in layers.
