What a Week!

It's been hoppin' around here! We've introduced some new menu items, stepped up our volunteer training program, kicked off our advertising for the upcoming Open House (mark your calendars for Oct. 24, 2-5pm!), made some extremely cool nametags (check out the photos in the photo album!), and got in some more fabulous used books for our customers. And it's only Thursday!

Life here at the South Whidbey Commons is always fun, but for some reason it feels especially exciting right now. My guess is it's the people who are spending time with us. Gena is always phenomenal, and Tracie and Darcy are making AmeriCorps proud with their genuinely happy attitudes and sharp wit...but it's the volunteers and customers who seem even more engaged and energized this week.

I wish I could say that better. As I type, Gena and I are sitting here with our coffee, wishing there were more words in the English language, especially more words that add meaning to "happy." Maybe "jovial," "joyful," "exuberant," "deeply moved," "ecstatic," but we worry that people wouldn't take such words seriously.

The point is, people ARE HAPPY around here this week! And we see no reason that's going to change anytime in the near future. So please, come join the fun. Coffee's on :)
