The morning started with a group of people waiting in the parking lot for the church to be opened. This turned out to be a wonderful thing because we started an impromptu prayer meeting that was a true blessing.
Once in the building the majority of people started in on the box folding while the core team did last minute preparations for the Christian Academy students to start the packing adventure.
The 70 students and adults arrived at 9:30 and before long the packing commencedı. We had the kids circulate only through the Commons area so the carbonizing area was in the same room and that seemed to work out well. By the time they were ready to leave they'd packed 3,152 boxes (compared to 4,670 at the end of the same time last year.)
The box folding continued through the day but it was impossible to know how many boxes were folded since some were being used as others were being folded.
The evening packing started at 6:00 pm and it was hard to evaluate if having the school packs made much of a difference in the time it took people to go through the line. The registration folks report there were 229 people there tonight, and that's a record.
By the time the packing ended at 9:00 we'd packed 10,419 boxes. So...we're about a third of the way there. There are about 1,500 boxes to fold but they are reserving 500 in the storage container to see if they are needed. I really want to pack every single box we have, but we will see....
And we will see soon....
