That was the question and of course the answer was yes. Erin and I were relaxing in Wilson on Friday morning when we got a call asking if we could do an assembly at a school in Silver Spring, Maryland that afternoon. We realized that we couldn’t drive fast enough to get there that day so we rescheduled for Monday. The only problem was that Erin had to fly back to Seattle on Sunday night for a memorial service. Yikes! Could I do it alone? Crazily I had decided to go ahead, but then was saved by some wonderful people in Rockville, MD. My sister-in-law helped me scavenge books. My brother-in-law helped carry the books. My niece and nephews helped sort the books. I was already feeling so supported in my mission and then came the frosting on the cake. They had family friends who dropped by with a box of books for the Lit Lab. When these friends found out I needed extra hands to do two assemblies, the whole family came came to my rescue. The two daughters joined my niece to be part of the show. Their mother organized the give-away of books and their father helped unload the Lit Lab and then took photos and video for me. It really does take a village. Thank you, Elletts and Piepols!
Can you do two assemblies for 600 students?
