Lloyd -

Noble goals for the year. I would be happy to suggest some volunteer opps at Liana’s Nursing Home. We are also Team Leaders for Art on the BeltLine and could use volunteers there, as well.

Also, also, I want to share our Sankofa Hen Ark Initiative with you when you get a chance. It’s a teach-a-man-to-fish-thing, ‘cept with chickens! We’re looking to gift hen arks loaded with egg-laying hens to local at-risk kids.
