Do Good Mixer update

I am amazed how much can be accomplished with only a few dedicated people. Jennifer Garret from Iowa State and Cory Kleinheksel a student at Iowa State helped me come up with some amazing ideas for our new group, Do Good Mixer.

Some of the ideas for projects include:
Serving meals at Food at First
Participating in Stash the Trash on March 27
Help distribute food at Share
Participating in Keep Iowa State Beautiful
Helping at Iowa Games and Special Olympics
Doing clean up for the Story County Conservation
Shoveling snow and doing lawn work for elderly and disabled

Some of the ideas for socializing afterwards include:
Cooking out or having a picnic
Going bowling
Going for coffee
$1 movies at North Grand Mall
Exploring restaurants outside of Ames
Doing a restaurant tour
Pizza and game night

We decided our first event is going to be a family friendly one since many people have MLK day off. We are going to join the Volunteer Center of Story County and the service learning group AmeZone in helping to plan and decorate the new Homeless garden the group is creating. The event will be held at 130 S. Sheldon in the auditorium from 12-3pm Jan 18, 2010. More details to come as plans begin to firm up.

Please send your suggestions on ideas for after volunteer options.

Thanks!
