You Never Know

Even at a sled dog race one can live "inside out".

While helping out at Campbell Creek Science Center during the Iditarod Ceremonial Start this weekend, I met a young family who was interested in activities to do outdoors with small children. As a member of CCSC's board, I mentioned the programs and activities, then asked where they lived.

"On Huffman, near the school and that worn-out trail/exercise area. Near the church." I told them I attended "the church" and asked if they knew about some of our fun family activities, like Date Night, Kids Fun Week, and such. They had seen our signs, but like a lot of people, were hesitant to participate, fearing that it was a "members only" sort of thing.

Nope. Not us. I also mentioned some of Trinity's goals for the year and really caught their attention with the idea of cleaning up the trail. As a family who enjoys the outdoors, I captured the essence of who they were as individuals. It wasn't about my beliefs or goals, but theirs.

Pretty cool.
