Leaving soon for a charity event put on annually by the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
One of my affinity groups, the Charlotte Atheists and Agnostics is a sponsor of the event in Charlotte, so I'll be proud to be at our booth for the entire event this morning!
This is just one of many worthy charities that you can support with your time. Volunteering your time
improves your mental health
connects you to your community and
gives you a sense of purpose and fulfillment
It's worth finding a group that fits with your beliefs and priorities. Many would love to have your help if only for a couple of hours a month.

(Ballot curing! This one really could come down to an alarmingly tiny number of ballots, so make sure they're all correct and accounted for.)

Students enjoyed it. But a bit too many technical instructions to follow. Subjects weren't ever going to stand still!
Will have to practice nailing exposure quickly, in a more controlled setting.
But quite liked this.

'Befriending Week is the national campaign celebrating and raising awareness of befriending and the positive impact it has on individuals and communities.'
I whole heartedly endorse this.
We all have so much to give - and receive - for volunteering.
Murdoch newspaper, the oldest daily rag in London, rushed to print another Mamdani-killing-article. Turns out it really was Bill deBlasio, just not that one. Damage done, now the NY Post has posted a retraction after quickly picking up the lies. Billionaires are in high panic mode, mistakes are being made...

These are the tool cabinets I have been making for the Community Workshop. Each one is about 1000 x 2000 x 200mm and used 4 sheets of 18mm plywood.
I built them as sealed boxes and then cut the door out, fitting the hinges as I went.
The right hand one has a narrower door as it needed to clear the work top and the electric/water intake. The deep recess behind the hinges will be used for sash cramp storage.
I still need to make the rest of the tool racks inside, and tidy them up.
They are mounted on the shipping container doors so that the doors can still open when needed and the tools access from outside.

An image I took years ago where I used to volunteer. The book was on the beam n an old barn near a vegetable garden where all food was donated to pantries and kitchens.

Macro Lesson went brilliantly.
Minds blown.
I wish I could post the smiles on the students' faces.
