Candy & Potter's Volunteer Army


My friends, Kim & Sharon, and I went to volunteer with Candy & Potter's Volunteer Army today and we had an absolute blast! For those of you who don't know, Candy & Potter are a husband and wife duo who do mid-days on 107.9 The Link. Once a month, they organize a large volunteer project for the "army" to partake in. Kim and I had been talking about volunteering with them for, seriously, over a year and today is the day that it finally worked out for both of our schedules, so we roped Sharon into going with us also. We were clearing brush, leaves, etc. and beautifying the new ropes course at Alexander Youth Network. Our backs hurt and we had mulch down our pants but you couldn't wipe the smile off of anyone there's face when the kids came and sang us their spirit song. It was then that we all really knew exactly why we were there, and it felt really, really good.
