9.6 The Package Mill

I go to the Package Mill two or three days a week. There are about 12 clients and three staff people at the work site.

Some of the clients do chores at the work site so they can earn money there. We go to the work site and do staining, painting, and sanding.

At the Package Mill we have three coffee breaks but one of the breaks is a lunch break. We sit around and talk.

On Thursday I go to the Mushroom Plant where they grow mushrooms. I go to the Mushroom Plant to make the boxes.
