Saturday, September 20th, 2008 was a day of hard work here in Santa
Barbara County! Over 1,000 energetic volunteers gathered at Ben Page
Youth Center for the annual Day Of Caring kick-off breakfast, generously
sponsored by Albertson's, Einstein's Bagels and San
Luis Obispo Roasting Company! The room was pumped up with the sound,
song and cheer of the Dos Pueblos High School Drum Line, The
San Marcos High School Madrigals, The Santa Barbara City College
Cheerleaders and Dancing Drum! The volunteers were motivated
and inspired by the entertaining Gary & Catherine of K-LITE,
Randy Weiss of Santa Barbara Bank & Trust, Lynda Nahra
of Community West Bank and John Wigle of AGIA. The
giant Ben Page Youth Center was a sea of blue Day of Caring
t-shirts as the eager volunteers marched their way off to their
jobsites.
Over 50 local agency jobsites, stretching from Carpinteria to Santa
Barbara, Goleta and Santa Ynez, received much-needed TLC and community
support. Teams from schools, employers, churches, and families and
organizations contributed by painting, gardening, cleaning, stuffing
envelopes and even building adobe bricks! The agencies were thrilled
with the response from the community and have asked me to pass on very
grateful and appreciative THANK YOU'S to all of you!
