Recap of weekend events

Beads of Courage

Everything went great. We did everything from organizing siblings kits to painting honor boxes. It was tons of fun and plenty of free food and coffee. We accomplished a lot.

Social @ Chili's this past Monday

All profits made went to St Jude's hospital. The food was good, company good, making a difference good! Aside from seating conflicts caused by an influx of sororities (even though we scheduled ahead), things went great.

Projects

Feed the Hungry

Every Friday we meet at 5:45pm for Feed the Hungry and at 3:15am every Sundays. We still need people this Friday for Feed the Hungry, email Danette if interested. Plenty of opportunities to help hungry people of Tucson get jelly in their belly (note: jelly is not always served).

Giving Tree Outreach

This Saturday, September 30th, we will be volunteering at the Giving Tree Outreach. The event will be from 4-7 and meet at the flagpole at 3:30pm.

Ben's Bells

Help us paint wind chime like bells for this awesome nonprofit organization. The event will be on October 7th from 10am-1pm. We will meet at the location since it's on University blvd rather than at the flagpole. Further logistical information will be posted soon.

Tucson Jazz Society Concert cleanup

Go to a free concert, get a discounted meal at a fine restaurant, and volunteer for the Tucson Jazz Society! Come help out the Tucson Jazz Society by helping them put chairs together and pick up trash at the end of their concert. It will be next Sunday October 7th from 7pm-9:45ish. More logistical information will be posted soon.

Wildcat Charter School

Are you interested in helping out the Wildcat Charter School by becoming a mentor?
