My new friend Kim and I (she works in the Botany dept. with me) are volunteering tomorrow with the National Governor's Association. We are both working at the "Tastes of Philly" event tomorrow night, we're super nervous and super excited at the same time. I love volunteering. It should be a fun experience... Kim and I are probably the youngest people to volunteer. We had a training session/overview of the whole kitten-caboodle Wednesday night at a swanky hotel in downtown Philly, with free pizza, cookies and coffee... Kim and I overloaded on the coffee :) But hey, when it's free, ya know? I have no self-constraint. I think it has something to do with being a college student.
Anyway most of the current state governors and their wives will be in Philly this weekend, as well as some former governors. Of course Gov. Rendell of PA will be there, Maryland's O'Malley and his wife will be there, but also... Arnold Schwartzenneger (sp?) and his wife Maria, aaaand Bill Clinton since he was governor of Arkansas. Hillary Clinton? Probably not. The coolest part is we get to act part-security, ask people for their official ID and welcome all the governors at the "Tastes of Philly" event. There will be plenty of FBI and undercover cops, and we have to report anything fishy... serious stuff. We had to fill out a bunch of forms to volunteer and the police do a background check, otherwise pretty much anyone can do it if they want. I'm mostly excited about asking Arnold to see his governor's pin and other forms of ID when he shows up... and all the free food.
I'm such a college student.
