Well, It's around 3:00 on day two of our trip! This is a half-time report.
All but 3 members of Team New Bern are in Beaufort County, NC (the other three are at the New Bern office of LANC). We had quite a steady group of clients today! Each pair of volunteers was able to write documents for a client; in fact, I think one group had two clients. Everyone seemed a bit more comfortable with the whole process today, having already completed one day of work.
At the lunch hour, most of the group went to Farm Boys, a restaurant around the corner from the senior center. Cheeseburgers, fried okra, and hush puppies were enjoyed by all. After lunch, our clients returned and everyone scrambled to the (one) printer to print out (and re-print, and in my case re-re-print) various docs. Our client, a senior center regular, had just come off a rousing game of canasta, and was raring to go as soon as we got back to the center. She was so refreshed, in fact, that she was not shy about questioning my partner and me about whether we were engaged (I can only assume she did not mean to each other) and urging us to go "find a [boy/girl]friend." In all, she was a quite agreeable client.
We have yet to take the ferry ride promised in yesterday's post. Hopefully by tonight I'll have more on that.
