External Battery, Volunteer Recruiting, Nose Painting

Regarding Peggy's battery:
We have been having major issues with Peggy's external battery for a while now. It doesn't seem to be holding it's charge and doesn't seem to give us the full 4-6 hours we should be getting out of it. It loses juice while just sitting there. Not good. However, we've been logging it and if it is fully charged it will give us at least 3 hours on average. But still not ideal. Respiratory has been notified, but they can't figure out what is wrong with it. They suggested that we need to have an electrician come look at the outlets. Until I get that done, I have ordered another battery to have around the house. They should be delievering it today or tomorrow. We'll see if we have the same prob with that battery and if we don't then I'm getting the other one exchanged. But at least now we'll have 2 batteries on site always.

Recruiting:
FYI - we're looking for more "B volunteers" to help our "As". I've posted an ad for volunteers on Craigslist, so hopefully we'll get some response. We'd also love to train more As. If any of you have friends who would like to join the Peg's Legs crew, let us know! Or better yet, bring 'um along for a shift to try it out!

Nose Painting:
Have you heard about Peggy's nose painting? Ask her about it! It's great! Peggy is so happy to be painting again. Marvel has been assisting her with this project. They are working on a spellboard design specifically for nose painting!

Congrats on getting this up and running, Kimi. So impressive, what with everything else you do! I think this is going to be one more really useful tool in the Peg's Legs arsenal.

And argh! about the battery. Such an ongoing frustration...
