we managed to put out 50 flyers this week, politely left in our neighbor's mailboxes. today we put up 3 posters and handed out a few more flyers. chipping away at it, i am so proud of emily. she walks with her flyers and smiles, saying hello to everyone as we walk by. she shyly tells them to please help save the wetlands and i know for a 7 year old how hard it must be to walk up to total strangers and introduce herself (heck, i dont feel comfortable doing it myself!) she is learning so much, between all the hours of careful letter writing and guerilla chalk messages plus the social interaction with our neighbors. i am hoping she will see how her own simple gestures can make a difference (just like voting and doing helpful things for others). it may not seem like a lot, but i know there are at least a handful of people out there who will get a flyer or see our poster, log on to the wetland website and be excited to help save it (just like i was). thats all it takes, a few inspired people to inspire a few more and together we might have a chance.
so after a busy week and busy saturday morning, we are off to the cabin! hopefully some autumn pictures will come soon!
