Volunteer to Rebuild Community this Summer!
A new organization focusing on revitalizing our communities is seeking volunteers for their two summer project days: July 29th and August 12th. Elderly residents have applied and been selected based on their needs and the condition of their homes. Saturday, July 29th will be dedicated to yard clean-up, painting prep, and debris removal. Saturday, August 12th will primarily be spent painting the homes. Volunteers will meet at 8 AM on both of those days for breakfast, house assignments, and t-shirts at Faith Lutheran Church in Calumet (26016 Depot Street). A free breakfast and a t-shirt will be provided to all volunteers!
Sign-up is available now on GivePulse at the preceding links!

Attention all Registered Student Organizations!
If your organization has not yet updated its officers on Involvement Link, it’s time to take action. Failing to do so may result in training being allocated to the wrong individuals during the re-registration process, affecting your budget if finished late.
