Today I did flu shots at my small college. I gave shots to 75 people in an hour and a half. The whole basketball team came and got them at once. There was a line most of the time. It is good work. It is nice to be able to say I did this number. So much of what I do is not quantifiable.

I am working with a group which is organizing a forum on Poverty in America. This is described on a separate blog. There are about 12 different people invited to speak and it should be interesting. Here is a link to a blog with details:

Poverty in America Forum

I have been a facilitator with the Alternatives to Violence Project for just over a year. I go with another facilitator into a nearby prison and do a three day intensive workshop with inmates to get them thinking about their lives and how they can easily make their lives less violent. Some are amazing and really ready to change. All those attending are doing so voluntarily, so if they don't like it they can go back to what they are usually doing. We can only do workshops on weekends as they can't miss their routines Monday through Thursday. I created a web site for the Mid Missouri Alternatives to Violence Project Council and that's why I'm blogging now. I want to link this blog to the Mid MO AVP website.:
