FIRED UP
October 22, 2005 marked the second annaul Megan, C$, Broser, and Andrea Servathon!~ This year's site the Margaret Fuller House located in Cambridge needed quite a bit of work. Luckily with 150 volunteers at our site, the work went quickly. We scraped and painted an entire side of the house with several members from Dyax's community outreach program. I certainly had a wonderful time doing this project. I would say it wasn't quite as fun as raking up leaves in the ghetto (Lena Park, Dorchester MA)... but it was still a good time.
The morning started early, with departure from Somerville Ave at 8:02 AM. We arrived at Government Center to load up on free bagels, waters, jucies, and Go-gurts (i remain to be scared of go-gort). We listened to Mayor Menino and several members of City Year (the parent organization of Servathon). We then got FIRED UP doing some Physical Training. We headed off with Alan, our core member, to the site. We got up and running and had our side of the house scraped in no time. The whole process seemed to move along quickly... and although I sustained a minor injury (and was awarded a Purple Heart), the day was great.
We escaped just as the rain started to fall. Servathon 2005 - SUCCESS! I certainly look forward to 2006, and hope that a few more people come out to serve. It really is a very fun time.
