I have been volunteering on the
Kalakala every Wednesday since August 2000. It had been ten years since I
welded, but thanks to the patience and excellent guidance of volunteer
coordinator
Bill
Vaegemast I quickly got up to speed. Along the way, I've shot lots of
pictures of the various volunteers and the work we've done.
