During Week of 12/20/10
Family Promise would like any available volunteers to stay with families at the designated home, to have dinner and socialize with them from 5:30 pm-7:30 pm.

There is also a great need for volunteers to remain with the families overnight from 7:30 pm to 7:00 am. Tanisha did this over the Thanksgiving holiday and if you would like additional information as to what this entails, feel free to contact her.

Family Promise is looking for volunteers to help sell 50/50 Lucky Drawing tickets at the Florida Panthers game at the Bank Atlantic Center. Volunteers are asked to arrive at 6:00 p.m., to allow early entrance into the arena, and will be allowed to stay and watch the game afterwards. Of the tickets sold, Family Promise will get 25% proceeds!... This is a great way to help out the organization and get into a game free!

SPACE LIMITED to the first 8 people!

8A-5P
Livability Study: Get experience with community organizing and being involved in a multi-disciplinary macro project. You can earn 9 extra field hours by working with Dr. Hawkins and Dr. Kaplan who will be conducting a Livability Study with the residents of Broward County. Dr. Hawkins and Dr. Kaplan are participating in a collaborative community involvement process involving the School of Social Work, the School of Architecture, the School of Urban and Regional Planning and the Broward Metropolitan Organization. Students are needed to assist with the community engagement process by participating in a short walking tour with community participants from Sunrise and Plantation and then leading a small group to process the participants’ observations.  The purpose of the project is to empower the community to participate in the conceptual approach of identifying areas that need improvement in shaping the future use of communities.  The event will take place on Saturday, October 9 from 9:00 am-5:00 PM at a location to be determined in the Sunrise/ Plantation area. From 8 AM – 9 AM we will provide training to the students on what they will need to do for the day
 
Please RSVP to Dr. Kaplan at afkaplan@fau.edu if you are interested in participating or if you have any questions.
