Bitter Sweet Times

It has been a wild week or so here at the Morlock Foundation.  Sukhi, who has been a tremendous asset for us is moving on.  She is heading to Toledo and med school.  Her knowledge of statics and medical conditions have proven to be invaluable to our cause.  Myself, I have accepted a full time position as a Legal Secretary.  Unfortunately however this is a day position so I will be unable to contribute as much as I have been.  I am optimistic that despite these challenges the Morlock Foundation will continue to grow and prosper.

New Volunteer-Malik

The Morlock Foundation is proud to introduce our newest volunteer.  Malik is a sixteen year old man who is completely blind.  Despite this he is exceptionally mature and extremely capable admin, thanks to a special machine with converts braille into text and text into braille.  We welcome Malik to our team.

Fun times....

Sometimes I love to volunteer here, I got to sit around and imagine all sorts of awesome ideas for our Gala baskets.  So basically I came up with things that I have enjoyed around WNY.  If you wish to join in the fun, please email me about how you like to spend your money to lead.admin.asst@morlockfoundation.  We are aiming to  have 100 baskets and I am hoping that they will be a big hit.

Upcoming events...

Greetings boys and girls.  Today was all about upcoming events.  On August 4th and 5th (first weekend of August) we will be celebrating our 10th anniversary with an open house and bake sale.  Bring your friends, bring your family, it will be a great opportunity to interact with the community and to meet family.

On Saturday November 8th we will be holding our annual Open Toe Gala.  We are currently in the process of securing donations from the Bills, the Sabres, the Bandits, and the Bisons.

Excitement is abound.

It's been a while, but it's good to be blogging again.  It is an exciting time here at the Morlock Foundation.  Our grant request to the United Way has just been sent out, we are adding a new volunteer, Dan Warren to help run C.A.P.  In addition we are also stepping up our Ink Recycling efforts, we are working to establish a drop box for electronic equipment (smart phones, cell phones, laptops, laser cartridges etc )at our Buffalo office and across the street at the Parkside Community Association.  Feel free to bring your old electronic equipment to us and it will be put towards a good cause.  Lastly, if you or someone you know is looking to gain some experience working in an office and would like to work with the most awesome group of people on the face of the planet.  Give us a call at 842-1300, we could use a new admin to help manage our ink recycling program.

After Five months....

I am finally getting to the end of the admin handbook.  I just need another set of eyes, or two, or three to look it over and make sure it is clear and concise.  Not entirely done, but after I got to the point where I couldn't do any more today I felt like a great void.  Like something was wrong.  Apparently I was supposed to work on the handbook for ever.  Anyway now I will have an opportunity to knock off some of the projects posted on the white board.  By the way, typing without looking at a computer screen is weird.

Fair well Karen, best of luck

Today was a bittersweet day. It was our the last day of Karen's internship.  She brought a lot of energy and compassion to our group.  From where I was, I though she did a spectacular job, she will make a great Social Worker in the future.  I heard no complaints from anyone about Karen, and that ain't no lie.  Good luck.
