We got some generous checks in the mail, sponsors for the upcoming fund-raising event. I had lunch with Becky and Janna, sitting outside. It was very nice, except they somehow lost our order and we sat for about 30 minutes before realizing they were never going to bring our food. I saw Libby W., whom I hadn't seen for years and Caroline W. and her mother. She is apparently married...I suddenly realized I needed to go back to work...The bank statements had come and I spent some time working on reconciling them, not totally successfully. They will be waiting for me on Monday. I spoke to M. about being more or less caught up on work and offered to work on some grants, but she said no. The only thing she wants me to do is teach her how to do the reimbursements, which I understand and agree with, but it also makes me nervous.

I went by the bank, but they closed while I was waiting in line, at 4:30. I'll go by this morning. I picked Ray up and we headed to Democratic HQ. I asked if they needed anything and Erin said, "paper." I went and bought a case and kept a couple reams for us. The executive committee started at 5:15. We talked about HQ and then there were several other items. We are having some trouble getting enough volunteers for everything we want to do.

I had taken a chicken and rice casserole out of the freezer and Vanessa baked it, so we ate as soon as we got home. It was a pleasant evening, but too late for chicken-watching. There is a new program in Athens, called Whatever It Takes. We got one of 21 planning grants approved nationally and they are hiring some people. I am trying to decide if I should apply and who to put down for references.
