Hi everyone,

Here's a reminder about everything that's coming up in the near future. Let
me know if you're interested in helping out at any of these!

*TOMORROW- Champaign Habbitat For Humanity Clean Up*

Champaign Humane Society is looking for volunteers to spend time helping to
clean out their store from 3-7pm. Volunteers are welcome at any point within
that window of time. It will be hard, dirty, but fun work! Tools and bottled
water will be provided, plan on dressing warm.

If this sounds like something you would be interested get back to me ASAP so
I can get you the necessary information.

*Friday March 2nd- Westivew Elementary Fun Festival!*

Westview Elementary annual Fun Festival is looking for volunteers on Friday
March 2nd from about 5:30-8:30 to help run games at this awesome event... *

email.

*Saturday March 3rd- Family Fun Day at Family Resiliency Center*

The Family Resiliency Resource Center located at Christopher Hall (On

being held to raise awareness about the center.

There  will be many activities for children and families, including face

to help set up and run. It goes from 2-5 but we can break it up into shifts,
just let me know if you are interested.

*Saturday March 10th- POLAR PLUNGE!!*

The Polar Plunge is Special Olympics yearly fundraiser. Teams raise money
for the cause and then jump into the freeeeeezing water at Lake of the Woods
in Mahomet. It's tons of fun! Volunteers will be needed to help with the

friends and raise money! This is probably the last week to do so! * Please

Plunge or Relay! Have a great week.
