Went into town to do some banking and to get some cartons from a storage locker and take them to my Mom and Dad's condo to sort through. My Mom was a bit of a hoarder so there is a lot of really great stuff mixed in with abject trash. One example - she saved the utility bills and bank statements but also the blow-in advertising and the empty envelopes - in the same box I also found some stock certificates.
It has been five years since my Dad passed so it is time to start ploughing through the crap and not spending money on two storage lockers ($4,200/year for both)
Had a BERT meeting tonight - only six people in attendance. People really like the idea of what we are doing but getting them to commit to a monthly meeting is like pulling teeth. We are going to be doing a lot of outreach this spring so see what happens - it is not IF, it is WHEN...
