2010 Community Service Opportunities:
This Friday is Sleep Out, at Triangle Park (across from
the post office down town) PLEASE email me if you are
able to attend. You may come and go from Friday night
at 4:00pm till Saturday at 8:00am. Honors will be
bringing out several specials for our students so please
try to be there!! Bring your friends and family, your
FDGs and roommates. I look forward to seeing all of you
there!!
Is anyone interested in
driving to Muncy (about 50 minutes away) to do some
mulching for Dr. Reese. We will get a $100.00
donation. Please FDG leaders or Freshmen get together
and let me know when and what time you will be able to
help.
Another opportunity is
going to State College to do some gardening and other
yard work for Dr. Lally. Please let me know if anyone
is from the area or would be willing to travel that way!
These are opportunities
for us to get donations for our efforts to Haiti.
Please dig deep and help with these experiences.
March-
April - May
Haiti Relief
Initiative --March 17th-April 16th--We
will be collecting donations for those in Haiti and
sending them there. This is our chance to win 3
Sleep Out Initiatives in a row so lets start collecting
and be ready!!
Haiti Relief Initiative Sleepout--April 16, Triangle
Park 4 p.m. - 9 a.m.
We have sent emails to faculty and staff
and will be volunteering our time and skills for their
many tasks.
Once they have responded I will send emails to the
program and you, your FDGs, friends, anyone can
volunteer your time for that event. The donations that
we receive will go to our Heifer International Project
which will then donate animals to Haiti. The event
will run from NOW till April 13th--If any of your
teachers
can use your help please feel free to remind them of
our efforts.
We will continue the clothing drive for
those that are in Haiti as well as I feel that these
goods are what
they need most, because with donations and no where to
buy necessities it would be best to try this route.
We will be going Door to Door in Downtown
Lock Haven on April 10th from 10:00am-2:00pm and then
April
11th in Castanea from 2:00pm-6:00pm. Here we will be
asking for donations for the Heifer International
Program.
FDGs and FDG
Leaders please feel free to do any additional
fundraisers for the programs initiatives to help
aid in our success and the help that we can do for so
many others. Email me ASAP with your fundraising
ideas.
Semester Long Projects
Heifer International
Project—We will be collecting donations to buy
animals for families in third world countries. The FDG
raises the most money will receive FDG Wars points.
Please start thinking of Fundraising ideas, ask your
family, teachers, and friends for monetary donations so
you can help those in third world countries!
Clothing Drive—Bring
in your old clothes, coats, and shoes to be donated to
the local love center, women’s center, and possibly
those that we help abroad.
Plastic Bottle
Collections—Drop off your plastic bottles in the
basement of the honors house. We will need around 800
bottles for a demonstration that we are planning.
