Surayya-3/9/09-MFTA

On Wednesday Madeline, Sadie, and I went to MFTA for the second time. Lucy was a new addition to the group and since she didn’t come the first time we explained to her what MFTA was all about. After that, we signed in and got right to work. Erin, like us, was a volunteer, however, if I remember correctly, she goes there more often than we do. Our task this week was to help Erin sort out old jewelry. These were the items that were returned or couldn’t be used anymore, although a lot of the earrings were on good condition. American Eagle donated the jewelry that we were separating. Since it would be impossible to completely untangle the jewelry, we took clumps and cut them with pliers so they would fit into the small zip-lock bag. When we got there, there were at least 5 huge crates that needed to be sorted. By the time we left, about two hours later, there about 2 left. Will us five working productively and quickly, the work went by very quickly. On the way back we got lost and Maddie got stuck on the train, but overall we all had fun and can’t wait to go again this Wednesday.
