🇺🇦I sent a box of lifesaving ⛑️CAT 7 tourniquets in September 2023. Today, I learned that they have arrived in Kherson, Ukraine, and are on their way to the heroes on the front line.
Day 3 of trail maintenance last week wrapped the water control by the new gabion net, then loads of tread work. Photos never show the magnitude of tread work but it was a lot of mudslide relocation (tons of dirt).
Tread work is my favorite, but it’s for sure the most back breaking. Takes a full week off from running to recover. Looks like a new project just posted for next week a little further up trail.
⛑️My shipment of lifesaving CAT 7 tourniquets made it to Ukraine. Now, they're on their way to the frontline, a symbol of unwavering support and solidarity.
Ventura County seeking volunteers for the Point In Time Homeless Count.
The Ventura County Continuum of Care needs volunteers for the upcoming Point In Time Homeless count on January 24th!
The count serves as a crucial tool for understanding the extent and nature of homelessness within the region while securing critical federal funding.
Conducted annually, this count provides a snapshot of the homeless population on a specific day (January 24th), aiding policy makers, service providers, and advocates in assessing the effectiveness of current interventions and shaping future strategies.
✊ Do you want to make a difference in the world through technology and open-source software? Science & Design is always open to new volunteers skilled in engineering, design, marketing, and more.

From familiar faces at home in Boston and Malden to the new bonds forged amidst the challenges of Ukraine, your presence has enriched my year beyond measure.
Thank you for the strength you gave me and the hope we share for a brighter future. May 2024 bring us safety, health, and the joy of seeing each other's faces once more. Until then, my thoughts are with you.
TOMORROW is our New Year's Day trail event at Jones Point! We have 34 people signed up so far, which is great b/c we have a lot of work to do. Have you registered yet?
Meet at 10 AM at the intersection of MVT and S Royal St, down the ramp from the Capital Bikeshare dock at MVT and S Washington St. Be sure to bundle up! Remember, there's no bad weather: only bad gear.
For anyone following along to this discussion--I found a different local museum director to ask. This was a helpful anchor: they have a standard value for an hour of volunteer time. Currently that's $31.80.
So you could add your skills/gear/etc on top of that as a ballpark, anyway.
🕊️This thank you card isn't just for me, it's for everyone who chooses kindness: a shared beacon of hope for the New Year from the Malden Warming Center.
