NEWS ON PROJECTS!!
Here's the news from our 10-27-06 meeting on new and existing projects:
International Projects - We now have a group of students working to coordinate service projects in OTHER COUNTRIES! See Leeza S., Caitlin J. or Amanda K. for details. We are currently working to see if we can help gather supplies for a school in the slums of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Coats for Kids - Rats! This project has expired. Maybe next year??
Strive Scholarship Freedom 10 Mile Run - South Campus Ambassadors will be manning a water stop at this race on Sunday, November 5. The race begins at noon; volunteers should be there by 11:30 a.m. See Maikou Y. for details! And, wear your SCHOOL SPIRIT - Mahtomedi High School will be manning the other water stop, and we don't want to be outdone!
Thanksgiving Meals on Wheels - Suffering from insomnia? If so, join us VERY EARLY Thanksgiving morning to package food at Cretin Derham High School and deliver it to families in need. We will probably gather in the South Campus parking lot at 3:30 a.m. (I told you you weren't going to get much sleep!) to carpool down to Cretin Derham. You should be home by around 9:00 a.m., in time for a nap before your family holiday festivities begin. Lillie W. is in charge of rounding up volunteers - contact her if you are interested.
Dinners With Santa - These are two dinners scheduled for senior citizens during the holiday citizen. The organizer is looking for individuals willing to dress up as Santa, Mrs. Santa (or even elves!) to attend the dinner and socialize with our senior citizens! The first dinner will be December 18 in St. Cloud at the Best Western Americanna. The second dinner will be at the White Bear Country Inn on December 20. Talk to Joe. K. if you are interested in volunteering in St. Cloud, and Albert L. if you are interested in volunteering in White Bear Lake.
Music for the Holidays! Here's a special volunteer opportunity for members of the school choirs. Jim M. is organizing a group of singers to perform at one or more local nursing homes over the holiday season. Contact Jim M. if you are interested!
Casa de Esperanza - South Campus Ambassadors is one of several different groups that plan to "adopt a family" for the holidays. We will get information about a needy family, including the ages of the children, and what types of holiday gifts they might like or need. See Ali W. or Ms. Whitcomb for more information!
