Southwest Detroit Environmental Vision Volunteer Leadership Award

                On Thursday, December 3rd, I had the honor of receiving the Volunteer Leadership award from the non-profit organization, Southwest Detroit Environmental Vision (SDEV). This award has significant value in my heart because of the recognition it gives me for the work I’ve been doing for the past five years.

                SDEV has molded my life to what it is now. The success and achievements I’ve accomplished in the recent years has been because of the leadership skills the gardens, parks, events, and institutions SDEV has allowed me to work on. When I first began, I did not expect to lead a garden with over 300 vegetable bins and over 10,000 hours of volunteer hours logged. I have managed to live, breath, and think the idea of sustainability, which helps me in all corners of life. I’ve even been able to lead my school’s environmental group and Nation Honor Society with the skills accumulated from working with SDEV.               

                I will continue to work with SDEV every summer because what they do for the community and Detroit is beyond phenomenal. I thank everyone at SDEV for presenting me with this award, and I hope to work with Sarah, Kathy, Rebecca, and Diana much more next year.

Once I got to Ideal, I started to go to Steve and I grabbed a handful of Invoices which took me a while to do. After that Steve sent me some Picking sheets and it took me about a hour. Then Melanie gave me some Picking sheets to arrange also, after arranging I can put the numbers into Sugar and after finishing those I can put them in a separate room in case we ever need them.

Today was a busy/productive day. I started the morning by checking lots of papers and also checking if Alex had signed all of them so I can be able to file them. If Alex had not signed them, I had to give them to her. Afterwards, I had to file all the papers in the correct folders. After filing all of the papers, I had to put white out on some names that were on folders so Yuli can reuse them for something new. The rest of the day I was filling out birthday cards for October so they can be mailed. Last I took some of the cards and sealed them so they can be mailed.

Today I worked on the board making a Winter Memories for the Ideal works to put pictures of  their winter memories. I only worked on scans since Steve has a big stack of  scans that need to be done. Today was a pretty relaxed and productive day. I completed about 300 scans.
