After calling off Prep on Tuesday due to heat, on Thursday we finally began the journey. Hawkin and I got an early start and went down to pick up cardboard from Western Container who has donated for the last 4 years.

| DAY 1 They even loaded it :) Thanks Mark & Kendell! |
The first "real" day of prep included the not so fun job of setting up and taking inventory of supplies. The troops arrived and immediately got to work. It seems that over the past several years many folks have been moving their homes. In the process, much of the paint that had accumulated in their basements has joined forces to invade mine. This provides the opportunity for us to create all the decorations from this stash. We started by assessing viability of the paint (you don't even want to know how old some of that paint was) and combining partial gallons.

Newcomers Elizabeth, Molly, Louisa, and Noelle got a quick tour -

| Molly and Louisa visiting the turtle sanctuary |
- and brief explanation of Unprom. I realize it it an event that is kinda hard to describe. Kind of an art project, kind of a carnival, kind of a dance, but sometimes it is about stopping everything to make a zoo.
Come and join in the fun. We need someone to entertain the zebras.
