That right there is an official Standard Black Trooper saddle. More or less unrelated to our next bus adventure, but fits with the theme of a great weekend in the mountains.
Last night Matt and I had a ServeNext meeting in Denver at the Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado’s office. We had a good group join us, including the Director of Projects & Training for AmeriCorps *NCCC in Denver, the Colorado AmeriCorps Alums Chapter leaders and a group of AmeriCorps *NCCC alums. Some really great things are happening in the Denver area, especially regarding disaster preparation and environmental stewardship. The AmeriCorps Alums chapter in Denver is doing some great things, including an Issues Forums every 2 months, social events, and helping lead the efforts for the “AmeriCorps Week” (May 11-18) Kick Off. The Alums will also be recognized in a pre-game, on field ceremony at the Colorado Rockies home game on May 17th.
We’re headed to Seattle this morning, having just celebrated our 1 month anniversary on the road. We’ve got an exciting month ahead of us and we’re looking forward to seeing more of the country and meeting more people looking to move National Service forward. We’ll send an update during our 31 hour adventure to Seattle… hopefully we won’t run into any more tornados!
