water girl

From june archive

tonight i volunteered for one of the 5Ks here in memphis. i worked at the registration table and the first water station. as we set up the water station, two reserve army guys who were visiting the civil rights museum came up and inquired about what we were setting up for. when we told them it was a race and what it benefited (the church i go to) they stuck around to help us out. it was pretty neat seeing a race from that point of view and definitely gives me more appreciation and respect (not that i didnt have appreciation and respect for the people who work the water tables before, just have more now that ive "been in their shoes"). over all it was pretty fun and i got a green volunteer race tshirt! :)
