projects in which we could be
a part.
Without even seeing it, I
knew the perfect house had
found us.
By the time you read this,
I and my three new friends
and housemates (I believe you
met Devon on this page last
month) will have lived in the
house for a little more than a
month.
The first couple of weeks
spent setting up the house
have been a little less magical
than the story that brought us
to its door. We're working out
logistics, scheduling, deciding
who does what chore, who
cleans which room and trying
to figure out who gets to
share what food.
(I've been named de-facto
house treasurer, responsible
for bills and rent.)
By the time you read this
next dispatch, we'll have
more fun stories to report, as
now we're also in the midst
of planning our first few
volunteer projects and social
engagements.
So far, our welcome to
Woodbridge has been
amazing. A number of
organizations have already
offered to host Shabbat
dinner in our home.
We'll start saying yes as
soon as we work out the
details — and are actively
creating our October calendar
of events now.
In October, our real work
will begin. We'll start to
partner with local nonprofits
on volunteer projects. The
first will be with Arts and
Scraps, an organization that
assembles learning kits for
kids. So check our website
soon for more details.
In the meantime, we're
going to find time between
our day/evening/weekend jobs
scavenging to find enough
furniture to fill the house,
brainstorming volunteer
projects, and sometimes even
finding time to enjoy the
massive garden and koi pond
in the backyard of our perfect
service house. ri
Rachel Klegon runs Green
