Another month has past, and Christmas is approaching fast (Yay!) and another month of collecting cans with Mr. Lundrigan is in the progress. Though the weather is random at times, seeing it snowed early in the month and the weather is warming up approaching its end, the job still has to be done. No matter what the weather is like you will still find me and Mr. Lundrigan driving door to door collecting the cemetery cans. If the weather is wet we dress accordingly to fit the weather conditions and plan a route to make the job quick to avoid being stuck in the weather for too long. As I mentioned last entry, Mr. Lundrigan carefully plans the houses to go to and not to go to and our route, but as I noticed lately he also plans with the conditions and statuses of several things in mind, which a good leader should do in a group for every plan or activity. Another thing that Mr. Lundrigan does is he keeps track of everything about the cans and the people who partake in the program. For instance, whenever I bring back a can to the car, he asks me to mark the name of the person who gave it to me on the can, and then he checks the name off a list on his clip board. He does this to keep status of who had there cans ready or not or if that person was home or not. Any houses that we were unable to collect a can from that day(for whatever the reason) are unchecked so we can plan another can collection on a separate day. This shows and demonstrates how organized Mr. Lundrigan is, and is also a very good skill for a leader to posses as it can come in handy for every situation. I now keep myself more organized after learning from Mr. Lundrigan, keeping track of my homework better and school activities (and recently the Christmas gifts I have purchased and those I need to get). Anyways, this is all for this months entry and the next will be sometime around mid January. Happy Holidays!
Sincerly,
Nicholas Martin
