Today we are catching up a little bit. Sadly, for the shop team at least, this means cleaning up a big mess that has been left around the car park. The Salvation Army's campaigns on tv and in print have done nothing to lessen the rubbish that a) people are leaving by our stores, and b) that others are sifting through. Even locking our car park these last few days didn't prevent someone from carrying two couches across to the shop.
In the Corps office, it means catching up with the programs as they recommence. Monday night was the basketball AGM - the first game is played this coming Monday. We again have four teams entered into the competition. Today our English classes are back and the kids are back at school. From here on in it will be all activity again.
If you're in the centre in the near future, meet the new receptionists. Over the last few months natural attrition has meant that we have needed to recruit vigorously. On Mondays you will meet Cherie, Tuesdays you will meet Eve (AM), Peggy (AM) and Yanina, Wednesdays you will meet Irene and Judy (AM) and Cherie is back (PM), Thursdays Mavis, Pam and Kayleen are in and on Fridays Judy and Kayleen are back.
They are the first people that are met by the public when they walk into our centre. We value them and need to encourage them to learn more about The Salvation Army as a whole.
