Happy Birthday Uncle Sam

After a very successful All Volunteer Conference yesterday (a post to follow soon-ish), its time for the final day of the two-part event we (the Volunteer Advocacy Council) have been planning for months. About 160 volunteers and 30 of their guests and will be gathering today in an undisclosed location (apparently that many gringos in one place poses a major security risk that goes on the Embassy’s radar) to celebrate the birth of our nation. After all the work that has gone into making this celebration a reality, I want nothing more than to enjoy an ice-cold beverage (or two) and a tasty hamburger. Let’s just hope it doesn’t rain!
