Today began with some additional work on the Bugler, return of a number of phone calls, and some more financial-related work. Rikki spent alot of time straightening the office, which seems to be a never-ending task. We also recorded David Jaye's "Jazzin' Around", a program airing on WNJR and via Podcast that we provide assistance on.
We ended the day with a trip to Lincoln-Lemington (where a tragic fire claimed the life of a 6-year old boy last night) for a scheduled workshop at Lincoln Elementary School. The boy was a kindergartner there and, while not one of our "workshop kids", we felt a profound sense of loss. We've grown very attached to and comfortable with the kids at Lincoln (and our other EWS schools) and this family and community loss made us stop to be thankful for our own health and safety as well as for the opportunities we have been given to work to improve the lives of children.
We used a new tool during today's workshop -- a portable multitrack recorder. It exceeded our already high expectations and helped the kids learn new things, express themselves, and have a carefree afternoon.
