rubyg-2/13/10-Village Temple-3rd.visit

Today Max, Taliana and I went to Village Temple. We didn’t end up staying that long (10:00-11:00), but we still got a lot of work done. The three of us first went to Knickerbocker’s, a store that donates corn bread every Saturday to Village Temple.  I was surprised that a lot of the common grocery stores donate different types of food (Knickerbocker’s-corn bread, Trader Joe’s-bread).

When cutting the corn bread, the lady was very strict about the shape and size of each piece. She said that you should present it how you would like to eat it. This way they feel like they didn’t loose anything and they are still “someone”. At first I didn’t really understand it because I didn’t think they would care about the appearance of the cornbread. They would just be appreciative to get it. But I still understood that it should look nice as well.

This was my last visit at Village Temple. I am going to have my 5th visit at HUC next monday and I am also considering going more than twice. When I visit HUC, I am planning on interviewing one of the adult volunteers that I talked to a lot during my first visit.
