Subject: Community Service Ideas

Hey Dave,
Please send this to the MEMO members!
Thanks!


Hello MEMO members,
Here is a list of the community service opportunities that I mentioned at our meeting on Monday evening. It is kind of a large list so I am asking EVERYONE to please choose their top 2 favorite opportunities that you would like to take part in. If there is one or two ideas that seem to be popular among everyone I will be in contact the foundation and see what it will take for MEMO to get started. If there are a number of foundations that people are interested in I wil try to make small groups and arrange an opportunity for each group to help out where they would like. I think that whether we are helping out as a large group in one community service opportunity or we help out at a number of places MEMO will be sure to do good. Let me know!

*Community Service Opportunities
1. BoulderReads - Literary Program helping children with reading.
Requirements: 6 month minimum meeting 1 or 2 times a week for and hour and a half at each meeting time. Making lesson plans is recommended. If we do choose to prosue this we need to fill out tutor applications which I will provide and there is 15 hours of training necessary.

2. Circle of Care - Senior Citizens Program
This program would involve us going to performances with a senior citizens and would involve driving. However you do receive a free ticket. I was also thinking if we do this, I could speak with the theater department and see if we could get them to donate tickets to one of their upcoming shows because the they have requested donated tickets. No prior training is needed and each person only has to do this one time if they would like.

3. EFAA- Emergency Family Assistant Association (1918)
Help out families in Boulder and Broomfield Counties by providing support to families in need, people with disabilities, and senior citizens. the areas that we could help out are food,shelter, rent assistance, and utilities.

4.Holiday Food Basket Volunteers
We would help pakcing bags, delivering, and distributing.
** I really like this idea with the holidays right around the corner and this is a one time thing that we could all easily do.

5.Children Services
This program would have us assist children with their homework and with various recreational activities or do group activities with the children. This is a 6 month requirement that meets 2 times a week but between all of us we could split it up so that it can be a one or two time thing. We can make a regularly scheduled time where we do a craft with the kids or a sport.

6. Volunteer Connection
Tutoring kids ages 5-17. They are open to having us meet with the children a couple of times a week to a couple of times a month.

7. Denver Rescue Mission
As always the Denver Rescue Mission needs help. They offer group opportunities and I can call and see what this entails. We could help with serving meals and they take up to 10 people at a time so we could split up into groups and do this. The serving times are seven days a week 5:30am-6:45am, 10:30am-1:30pm, 4:30pm-6pm, and 7:30pm-9pm.
They also offer a Reading and Writing Club helping kids ages 3-18 with homework. This is monday through thursdays 4:30pm-6pm.
Another program they need hekp with is their Whiz Kids Tutoring for kids ages 6-10. This goes from October to April every Thursday from 7pm-8:30pm.
*These two tutoring programs are at the Denver Broncos Complex.

8.The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Denver
They accept donations or they need help setting up and cleaning up holiday events/ decorating.

9. El Centro Cultural Nights
I have been in contact with Felipe and I am meeting his this next week. We would help with trasportation, setup, and distributing food to the attendees. Sounds easy and fun! I would really liek to work with this group because they definitley need the help. I met them this summer and I know they would be very appreciative.

*********As a seperate component I think we should do another toy drive this year. Last year's toy drive was a success and I think it will be another success this year. I will be in contact with Dave to figure out who to contact*****

Thank you,
Nicole Sandoval Community Service Chair

p.s. If anyone has other ideas that I have not presented please let me know.

Potluck

Thanks to everyone who attended the potluck! We had a lot of good food and had fun watching Tropic Thunder!!

Community Service Opportunity

Hey Everyone!
I spoke with someone from La Raza and they could use our help next Saturday.
That is the 24th! We would have to go to the Auraria Campus and the hours would
be 7 to 4! There are going to be a number of things for us to help with for
example: Registration, workshop monitoring, security, education fair, evaluation
and distributing lunch! Please let me know if you are available to help and if you
are interested ASAP! I was supposed to have the list of people for her today but I
did not receive this information until today and I knew that everyone would need it
before committing! If you could help it would be a great opportunity and I think it
could be really fun! Please reply either tonight or early tomorrow!

It is a very busy time in MEMO right now and there are a lot of opportunities to contribute to the group. Please make sure you are taking advantage of every opportunity! This post is packed full of information so please make sure you read it thoroughly and mark down these important dates.

I first want to remind everyone of our meeting tomorrow Feb. 2 at 5:15pm in Armory 206A. If you are unable to attend please check the blog to find out what we went over! Also, tonight is the deadline to get your shirt design ideas or logos submitted to me for consideration!

This Thursday (2/4) MEMO will be participating in the Spring Student Involvement Fair from 10:30am-2pm in the Glen Miller Ball Room located inside the UMC. This will be a GREAT opportunity to recruit more members to MEMO! However, we need volunteers!! Please let me know ASAP if you are able to help out at our booth for any amount of time on Thursday.

Also, on Wednesday, February 10 at 5:30pm, J-Board and MEMO will be working together to help read and go over people’s essays for SJMC admission and scholarships. We will need plenty volunteers from MEMO! Please make sure you let me know if you are able to help out.

Finally, I am happy to announce that Beth Gaeddert will be hosting a ‘hands on’ Resume Workshop exclusively for MEMO! This workshop will be taking place on Thursday, February 18 at 5:15pm in Armory 218. Be sure to bring your resume or work in progress to be examined by Beth and fellow MEMO Students!

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact Dave Martinez (david.martinez@colorado.edu) or myself and continue to check the calendar on the blog for updated event statuses.

Thank You!
