I apologize for the lack of blogging lately. I often forget that everyone is not on Facebook (and some vow to never join! We'll get you there some day Terri...)
However, Giving Back has been very active! We had an incredibly successful event in February, helping the Breakfast Club to collect a total of 402 pairs of shoes, which were shipped to Soles 4 Souls for shipment to Haiti! Thanks to Ensite & Anderson Industrial Engines for hosting drop spots.
March was a hodgepodge month with tons of volunteer opportunities - through the Facebook group, we sent out notices about volunteering with the Ronald McDonald House, Open Door Mission & the Red Cross just to name a few.
A little good news & then a promise to be better about updating...
First, Giving Back was nominated for a group award for the United Way Volunteers Awards and won! We will be honored in the Family or Group category for "Making It Happen!" Go us!
Also, many of you know that I have been searching for a job with a non-profit organization for the past year. I am happy to inform you that I have been offered (and obviously accepted!) a position with the Girl Scouts Spirit of Nebraska working in Membership & Volunteerism. I am so excited to start this new chapter in my life & you can bet there will be a project in the near future working with the Girl Scouts!
Thank you everyone for your commitment to Giving Back!
