Why: Fun way to support a good cause!

ASCE YMG is trying to put together a team of volunteers to help with Kansas City’s Christmas in October 2005. Breakfast and lunch will be provided and, at the end of the day, a celebration of a job well done. It will be a fun and rewarding day, helping our fellow KC neighbors that are in need. Please join us on Saturday October 14th.

“Christmas In October was started in 1984 by Dick Miller and John McMeel, the founders, along with about 100 volunteers, including friends, family and students from Rockhurst High School. They worked on 20 houses their first year. Since then, the program has grown to include over 7000 volunteers from over 100 different organizations from throughout the metropolitan area working on over 400 houses each year. It is the largest volunteer program of its kind in the United States.” More information about CIO can be found on www.christmasinoctober.org.

Possible jobs for our workers include: yard work, painting, door/step repair, basic carpentry, etc. If you have any special skills, please let us know.

Please let James Duehning know by end of the day Thursday, August 31st if you would be interested in volunteering. Any time frame to help out will be great (for those who have a hard time with mornings…you can join us later!). When responding, please include shirt size and skill level (i.e. basic-painting, advanced-plumbing/electricity).

We hope that everyone considers helping out with this great cause!
