Today was a big day for supporting and volunteering in our family. Love it when that happens!!
We start with our guest volunteer, Miss Meaghan. Our blog-honoree-Marie, would be so proud to know that her daughter is a monthly volunteer at the local animal shelter. Here's what Meaghan has to share of her experience:
"Today I volunteered at Northeast Animal Shelter. This animal shelter is "no kill", so the animals will defintely always be safe. There are both cats and dogs there and I volunteer with the dogs once a month. As a volunteer I have to walk them, clean upafter them, make sure they have clean water, and play with them! If you like animals I would recommend volunteering at your local shelter or even adopting a new pet !
Next: We also had a big day for supporting the Performing Arts program at the Dover -Sherborn Regional Schools. 
Sophia was participating in the annual musical fundraiser, The Chocolate Cafe, an event that is dear to our hearts since our drummer-Olivia was once a member of the middle school jazz ensemble. In fact, we were surprised, bit thrilled, to see the banner that Olivia helped design and sew (over seven years ago!) still hanging behind the stage! Sophia mentioned remembering having the banner elements laid out in our living room and helping to choose the colors and placements of the letters and desserts! This major fundraiser is the only concert that guests pay to enjoy....which is totally fair because we not only get to hear great music, but we also indulge in a huge buffet of scruptious chocolate desserts in a festive Valentine-themed atmoshpere. Sophia made her signature "Chocolate Covered Coconut Truffles" to donate to the buffet...and honestly, they were gone so fast I never even got to snitch one! Nana and Buppa were the familiar "Champion Supporters" and came to enjoy the music and chocolate. Paul did get to see Sophia perform, but he had to leave early to get to his volunteer commitment for the Special Olympics; a practice session that he said went really well.....even though one of the female swimmers was having a hard time emotionally.....something Paul is totally familiar with given he lives ina house of estrogen!!
