Volunteering and interning

Hey all,

If you have nothing to do over the summer and want to gain a lot of experience in the nonprofit world, I have two great opportunities for you with the organization I currently work for. Below are the two descriptions of the opportunities.

Volunteer:

Help us Shop & Share!

Loehmann’s will be hosting a night of shopping on April 5^th to benefit BREATHE California of Los Angeles County (BREATHE L.A.) and we can use your help to make the evening a success!

DETAILS: Shoppers in possession of our discount card will receive an additional 15% off their purchases.  Loehmann’s will share a percentage of the evening’s proceeds to BREATHE L.A.

HOW YOU CAN HELP: We need help getting the postcard-sized discount cards distributed as widely as possible prior to the event and we need help distributing information about our organization at the event sites on the night of the event.

So ..weekend wrap up..

This past weekend was good. I was at youth retreat with the GVBC Youth group. It was a good camp overall. There were some emotions, running through out the camp, espcially on sat. I think it was great but I hope that this emotion that they felt would not just be a camp high, but something that they can turn into living out for God day to day, hour to hour, minute to minute. My hope and prayer for each student is that they come to realization that living out their faith is not easy, that there will be consquences and that being a Christian in this society is not easy. Even us as leaders need to realize that, that living out our faith is something we need to take serious.

Ok, so something not as serioius but fun. Selection Sunday was yesterday, and UCLA is #2 in the West Region playing Weber State, my Dad's alma matter as well as my half-brother. This is the college I wanted to go when I was growing up cause I could of lived with my Grandfather in Utah. But I guess God didnt want me to end up there, cause of the heart transplant and my grandfather passing away when I was in the ninth grade. So in a wierd way I am torn between the schools, but I know that UCLA will take care of business. It will be a good tournament, with hopefully UCLA can go as far as they did last year but taking the title this year :).

Whatever else can I add to this post. Hmmm Dodger baseball is around the corner. I am so excited for the Dodgers this year. I think the potentional is higher this year cause of our new additions, Schmidt, Gonzo, Liberthal, and Pierre. Anyone want to join me and catch a few games this year, since now I will have some money to pay for the tickets hehe.

Have a great week
