Today my Jewish Youth Group from Congregation Shir Chadash joined me for a visit to the Catskill Animal Sanctuary. It was really fun! It was more than a visit, really, we did two projects to help out at the sanctuary. We could either paint the outside of the main office or we could help with gardening. We split up, but most people chose painting. I also did painting. It got a little messy partly because we all don't usually paint and also because it has rained so much that the area that we were painting was pretty muddy.
The gardening people pulled out weeds in a raised bed and found some vegetables in the beds. They were getting the beds ready for the summer camp coming soon.After our work, we all had a picnic lunch under the willow tree. It was nice to be able to show my friends CAS and the animals there.
