Volunteering

What person in their right mind travels 9 hours in a cramped vehicle, with no Buc-ees between there and here, to work for 3 long days in hot, humid, 100 degree weather, battling sawdust, sanders, chainsaws, ticks, and chiggers, expecting nothing in return but the joy of lending a helping hand? Whetstone volunteers, that’s who. We’ve hosted 100’s of them over the years…probably 1000’s…I don’t really feel like doing the math, but it’s a lot. Join us this week on “A Time to Sharpen” as we took a short break to interview Kevin and Pam Slack, a power couple who spent a 3-day weekend working here instead of staying on the couch in the air-conditioning and watching the Olympics. Now, don’t you feel guilty?
