How Will I Spend My Service Learning Hours

I have an exciting calender of service learning hours. I have already completed some of the hours but I'm definitely looking forward to the upcoming events. I don't know if which one will be the most exciting. Last Friday night I watched a fascinating video which showed some of the conflict between the Palestinians and the Israel people and how dialogue can be used to overcome the differences. I will write about that experience in a separate post. Now on to what I will participate in for the next few weeks.
Here are a few events in no particular order:

• Hanging flags for MSU home game on October 27th with a few other members of Toastmasters. It will be a great event to experience working together as a team and giving back to the community. I think it is extremely important to give back to MSU.
• Bowling for Kids Sake which is the first two weekends in October. This is an event that I'm organizing with my employees. The event is the biggest fundraiser of the year for Big Brothers Big Sisters which is a phenomenal organization. This is a crucial event in helping raise funds for the young kids in our community who may be looking for big brother/sister. It will also strengthen the team of employees and their relationship with me as their manager. 
• Habitat for Humanity has a sod laying project in Bozeman next Saturday the 22nd. This will be an opportunity to get a better glimpse at how this organization and the members of the community work together to help a family in need. I'm excited experience the different personalities, cultures, and environment.
• Toastmasters. I'm the President of Toastmasters, a national organization which promotes and helps members improve on their public speaking. I set up a table with several of the officers at the club today for the Involvement Fair. My involvement with this club is exciting as I get to share my passion for speaking but also gives me the opportunity to help someone else overcome the fear of public speaking. 
• Community Cafe. Every Wednesday night MSU partners with students/clubs from 5-7pm to serve food to families/people that may be looking for a meal for that evening. It may just be a family that has had some unfortunate events and need to focus funds someplace else for the time. It is a great opportunity and also a simple reality check. I look forward to serving and seeing a room full of smiles on an evening plus a tummy full of warm food. :)

I know there will be more events that will cross my radar screen over the next few months and I look forward to lending a hand to every opportunity I can.
