Weather & Practicing Justice
It is good to know that the weather person in NOLA are the same as in Rochester. On Friday, they forcasted a 70% chance of rain. Yippie, Saturday was rain free for our Practicing Justice Day. We working in a section of NOLA that has not had any clean up done since Katrina hit in 2005. We were taking down over grown grass and trees. Little did we know there was a sidewalk underneath it all. As people drove by, the thanked us and beeped their horns. A resident bought us a case of water to thank us. GREAT DAY!!!
