Stuff the bus. Great idea?

I read this article in the Daily Democrat today and just shook my head.  It is great that the Woodland school district is helping students that need backpacks and supplies for the start of the school year.

What is frustrating to me is that we have a committee of people that is working very hard on this and now we have competing events.  We have been working with the Wayfarer Center, the County Social Services folks and host of others.  They have been at this for a year.  The school district would have been welcome to join us at any point along the way.

I'm not sure how much more public we could have been to let people know about this project we are doing.

The answer from the school district will be that they are just trying to help.  Ok. Great.    We still have to rock on for next Saturday.  It is just disappointing that the folks over there on Cottonwood are not paying attention.

Oh well.  I just can't even explain my frustration over this without sounding petty.

We just need to throw a great event next Saturday and put as much money into the backpacks as possible.  Then we can evaluate in September.
