| From regatta 2011 |
I had fun at the Handcar Regatta last Sunday. This is the third year I’ve helped out at the Sono-ma family support tent. Holly (Sono-ma) does a great job providing support to families with young children. At her tent moms and dads can take a break from the festival to change their baby’s diaper, have a drink of water, a piece of fresh fruit. She also has toys for the older childen to play with. Moms appreciate a place to nurse their babies in a private place away from the crowds. My “job” has been to let passing families know we’re there for them and invite them to take advantage of everything Holly has brought for them.

In keeping with my yoga classes I invited people who passed to strike a pose……tree pose. Most everyone who humored me by taking the pose made it a “smiling tree”. Here are some of the fun people I saw at the festival.
