"The greatest happiness comes from the greatest activity."
---Christian Nestell Bovee
Candy is flowing into my garage and other collection sites like Niagara Falls - it just keeps coming and coming. Today I got it FedExed to my house, and received another package via UPS. A delivery is coming from New Jersey as well as a big load from Baltimore.
A woman is collecting in Alexandria and a company is doing so in Clarksburg. A veteran is going around his neighborhood telling people about the project and kids are bringing it in their backpacks to drop off in schools. One guy who came by with several boxes explained that he's a teacher and he challenged his students to bring in more candy than his weight - they definitely succeeded!
In short, it's become a huge community event. Just answering people's questions about when, how, where, and what types of candy they can drop off is more than a part time job this week. I am amazed at people's willingness and persistence in donating their candy. Very inspiring!!
