Carin's Gratitude

Hey. We are a small group of nurses volunteering in Colorado called PNACO . Our group is non-for-profit for the state and United States. We have grouped all over the US and in the Philippines benefitting local communities.  Our next fundraising is BINGO online via zoom best used with a computer. Join us! Let me know if you want to join under comments.

We had a weekend get-away to a city nearby, in a hotel, and eating out twice a day in selected restaurants we managed to get reservations at. We are grateful we were able to do this. Another time, we spent the evening with a vaccinated couple with wine tasting and dinner while we join a Zoom get-together with other wine-taster couples and the Wine producers in California (if that's what you call them). We had good bottles of wine - Zinfandels and champagne of some brands I did not think I would have tried. This afternoon, we had my volunteer meeting via Zoom talking about our fundraising  to benefit a scholarship and COVID victims. Then, we played BINGO online. It was a good way to end our rather serious meeting. I feel grateful for good food, volunteers, my husband, my friends, and all the mediums we use more often th
