Hands on Charlotte Day

I had a fabulous Saturday today! I got up bright and early to help with registration and set-up for Hands on Charlotte Day. While I was at the kick-off celebration at the Epicentre I had the most fabulous muffin, as a side note. 

Then, I headed with my group off to my project at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore. We did some fantastic tasks at the ReStore, lots of pricing, rearranging, and moving items to their appropriate places. I've written about the ReStore again, but as an overview, it's a place where one can take their old home goods, fixtures, building materials, etc. and donate them to be resold as a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity. Plus, they also get donations of new items also. It's a great place to check out every once in a while to just see what they have. 

After we did our feel-good volunteering, we went to the Comet Grill for another sort of feeling good, good food and some well-earned beers. Comet Grill was running a special just for Hands on Charlotte Day volunteers, 20% off all food and $1 domestic drafts. A $1 Yuengling never tasted so good than one drank after lifting, measuring and pricing large rolls of carpet for three hours. 

If you are in Charlotte and have never participated in Hands on Charlotte Day or any of the Hands on Charlotte projects, definitely check it out. It's a huge amount of fun and helps to make Charlotte a better place to be.
