Post #1!

Hi everyone,
I had a blog once a few years ago and just didn't keep it up. Hopefuly with this start to the Blog for Winnipeg SERVE 2011 I will be able to go this at least for the next month or so. Let your friends and family know this is here so that they can keep informed of what you are doing. Ron Hosmar from Ottawa is keeping up his blog too so there will be information for everyone.

This is a special project for many of us because it is a way for some of our friends who wouldn't be able to go on a regular SERVE project to be able to get the experience. It is our first attempt in Winnipeg and we are excited to see the work we have been doing come into play soon!

My name is Carol Vande Kraats and I am the coordinator of Winnipeg SERVE 2011. I am a teacher - kindergarten for many years and for the last 8 or so I have been a resource teacher. I have three kids - all married and I have four grandkids who I am crazy about. I talk about them a lot. Sorry. I attended parts of last year's SERVE in Ottawa so many of the people attending in Winnipeg will be familiar to me.

Tomorrow night we have a meeting with the planning team and I will get pictures so I can introduce our team to all of you.

Than't all for now.

See you all soon.
Shalom.
Carol
