July 12th

Hey! ok so today we went and met with all the work places managers/representatives. It went really well because we just had a quick speed dating setup which made it all very casual and light. They asked why you chose Katimavik and why you would be interested in their organization. The choices were
- A day care for younger kids-Me!
- A program that's kinda like Leah's Sun Fun Summer program (over 900 kids)-Brandy and Marc Olivier
- A restaurant where they prepare cheap food- Lauren
- A soup kitchen - it'll be closed until Sep.
- A free grocery store (attached to soup kitchen)- Beth
- A cafe that sells free trade products- Matt
- A Library/book store that recycles books (over 5 tonnes a year!)- Robyn
- Helping build a park- Pete and Damon
- A place down the street that helps people with mental disabilities interact-Alex


Everyone seems to be happy with where they are placed and most people got their first choice (me). I'll be working with little children for the next three months at the day care so hopefully everything goes well and I dont like lose one or something. I will carpool with Renee the lady who interviewed me and she lives just down the street from us. The drive is about twenty minutes and we're also driving Damon and Pete to the park that is in the same area. Let you know how everything goes tomorrow.
