One of the nice things about working at a non-profit organization is that you often get to see the best, and most generous, side of your community.
Case in point:
A group of friends in Boulder formed a group called the “Circle of Seven.” Their goal was to come together to focus on a large volunteer opportunity (think "book club" - but for volunteering.)
All of the friends researched opportunities and came back together with many, many wonderful options. They found it was too hard to choose and filter anything out! So they decided to do one large project together, and smaller groups are continuing to work together to complete other projects we came up with.
One of the projects the group came up with was preparing "Welcome Home" kits for the new Imagine! Charles SmartHome residents!
The kits included embroidered bath and hand towels, embroidered name plates for their doors, a small plant (very easy to care for - in mugs), a12x12 white board with an extra pen, a shower caddy with a laminated name label on it, a hand-painted picture frame, some Doc Popcorn buttered popcorn, a Melamine dish set including plate, salad plate, bowl, cup, a sketch pad and markers, and a metal water bottle.
The three residents who have moved in so far have been delighted with the gifts, and we are sure that trend will continue.
All of us on the SmartHome team offer many thanks to the generous women who put these baskets together: Daria Carter, Lauren White, and Mary Davis. You are the very definition of community, and we are most grateful.
