An eventful week

Well, last Tuesday was a least exciting. Immediately following my last post my desk ATTACKED me!!! Well... maybe I should just pay more attention to my surroundings. I took a huge chunk out of my finger on one of the metal parts under my desk. You can make fun of me all you want, I've come to terms with my klutziness. A big thanks to Bethany, my VISTA supervisor, for the impromptu trip to the Immediate Care in Greenwood. Four stitches and a tetanus shot later I was back at work and feeling just fine. After the construction workers left that afternoon, Bethany, Sheneice and I went snooping to check out the progress of Phase 2 of the renovation.

That night I went to the NCAA Horizon League Championship game at Hinkle Fieldhouse. Butler University vs. Cleveland State. It was an intense game that we ended up losing, but it was still fun to sit in the Dawg Pound and cheer on the Bulldogs!! I did get a little too excited and kept clapping my hands and waving my arms around... that's not usually good for a newly stitched finger...
As for an update on my VISTA year, I'm on a roll with donations. I sent out a bunch of request letters to Best Buy, the Indiana Ice, Greatimes and the Indiana State Museum. A big thanks to everyone that has already responded. I really appreciate all the support that Indianapolis businesses have given to Starfish. I'm still in the mist of gathering information for the initial stages of gala planning. Our first committee meeting is at the end of this month and at the end of this week Bethany and I will be visiting Fountain Square, the Ritz Charles, and the Renaissance to check our their ballrooms.

That's all I have right now. I wish everyone a wonderful week!

Here are some pictures from last Tuesday... I had to document the day :)
