Day 60 -- Delivering Treats-4-Troops to West Virginia

"You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do."
---Henry Ford

Just got back from driving the truck to West Virginia. Everything went well and the folks at Boatsie's Boxes are so appreciative of this huge effort. Got a late start so didn't get there till later than expected, but that was fine.

A highlight was getting to go with my friend Hilary Joel. We got to talk for 13 hours -- -and somehow kept the conversation going the whole time. She is an amazing woman - very involved in many causes and also a very smart executive coach.

I'm so grateful to everyone involved in this huge effort. Hurray -- WE DID IT AGAIN!! More successful than ever in that so many kids were involved and they learned a great lesson about sharing candy and helping soldiers. Lots of companies and organizations involved too, as well as neighborhooods, families, sports teams, schools, and more.

I am glad to have spearheaded it but to me the best part was working on it with so many others in MoverMoms and getting the chance to connect with lots and lots of people around the DC region. Started with a conversation about collection dates and ended with a huge truckload of candy - very cool!!
