I met with the District Veteran Coordinator of the County and two women from Veteran's First, an organization that helps homeless Vets.There were several of us there for the meeting. The main purpose of this meeting was to inform us that Veterans First has opened the very first home in Orange County for female homeless Vets. Seems these women are forgotten by our government and have a hard time getting any assistance. There was an effort to meld a few of these women into the transition houses for the men. Needless to say, that didn't work out.
The whole gist was they needed everything. Clothes, pot and pans, dishes, silverware, personal products, towels, sheets for twin beds etc. There is so much need in this world, it is frightening.
After that we were out in the parking lot loading the Veterans First girl/'s car with clothes and some of the items we had stored to go to the male Vets, as we were doing that, the DA drove up and wanted to go in for a drink. I said no and off he went.
I went to my favorite hang out and ran into the man that took me to the museum. Next to him was this handsome man that was fun to talk to and lived in my town. He gave me his business card and I told him I would email him I got up to go tot he ladie's room and when I returned he had bought my drink and ordered another one for me and paid....what a concept. Someone I met should take a page out of that book.
The next morning I had an appointment to go to the local florist supply with a gal to purchase ribbon and other items for the center pieces I'm making. That only took about a half hour. I decided I better get myself home and get a couple of things done around the house. Since I planned on going to Newport Beach to meet a couple for dinner. I need to get ten posters done for the Fashion Show and they knew someone that had offered to do them free of charge. Yea!
Today I"m kind of home free. Desi is coming to take me out this evening for dinner and dancing. Saturday afternoon and evening are free and then Sunday there is a brunch and I have a coffee date in the afternoon....wait until I tell you who with, if it transpires.
Have a good weekend.
