I woke early and continued with the table cover for the card table for White Cane Days. I also put together some small table signs and made a collection jar out of a plastic container that help pretzel snacks. I think the table will look very professional and well put together.
I headed out in the van with a chair, some water and the table , cover and everything else. First stop was the dentist. Dr.Stuppy bought out my dentist a year or so ago when Dr. Rappaport ended up with a nerve issue that prevented him from continuing being a dentist. I have seen him at cleaning time but this is my first time for actual dental work... and crown work no less. My appointment was at 2:00 PM. He numbed me (the worst part as far as I am concerned) then took impressions, ground away the bad parts, more impressions and then put in a temporary crown that was not a tin can. It was made on-site and looked like a tooth. Impressive. I was out and setting up for White Cane by 3:00 PM.
The Consignment Shop where my table was set up was a few miles away from my dentist on the same highway. It is the first time that my Lions Club has ever set up there, so it is an experiment to see if it is worth doing it. The highway bucket brigade was in Parkesburg from 4 to 7 PM. The shop closed at 6:00 PM, so I just set up my table at 3:00 PM and started taking donations. I was amazed at how many people did not even bother to give anything. I was also touched at the ones who looked like I should be giving them money gave em what little change they had or took their last bit of cash. I am setting up again today. Perhaps a Saturday will yield more generous people.
The rest of the night was catching up with friends and chilling with Molly.
Here are a couple of pictures of the table with my fast made tablecloth and signs. I think I did well!
