TNKR has a new volunteer in the office! Dave Fry joined TNKR officially today, helping out at the office and having his first tutoring session. It was an incredible first day, I wonder if we will survive the second one!
Some volunteers come along slowly, trying to fit us into their lives. Some others never visit us again after they meet refugees in the program.
On the other hand, there is Dave Fry!!!
He joined TNKR on Sunday.
* He has already made it clear: "Use me."
* He set up a fundraising page with the goal of raising $1,500.
* He donated $500.
* He made his Facebook page a backup TNKR page, with six posts about TNKR already. he may have posted even more than I have in the past few days. His friends may be wondering if he got kidnapped by a cult.
* He had his first tutoring session today, with a message that sounded like he was doing cartwheels up and down the street.
* He even watched a 35 minute speech I gave last year, giving me specific feedback.
* He helped out at the office today, stepping in as a photographer. (I will have to delete the many selfies he took).
* He committed to helping TNKR long-term. We don't mind short-term tutors, but we can build a stronger organization when we know we can count on people long-term.
