Today was the Microsoft Day of Caring, which is organized through United Way of King County. Ten of my coworkers and I worked at the Mark DeWolfe House on Capitol Hill doing yard work. We trimmed, pruned, weeded, and raked up a storm. We had to rent a big truck to haul all the yard waste away. When the woman at the house was telling us about it I was pleased to learn about its connection to the University Unitarian Church. Apparently Mark DeWolfe was a Unitarian minister who died of AIDS many years ago. His family donated the house to the Unitarian church and they turned it into a residential facility for people with AIDS. The church ran it using church volunteers for 10 years but then 10 years ago they got Rosehedge to take it over for the same purpose. Now University Unitarian leases it to Rosehedge for $1/year. :-)
