Hi everyone,
We urgently need a PC for the following upcoming project:
Saturday Sept 22, 9:15-2:30 National Braille Press
Place braille stickers on each page of the book "Mommies say Shhh" to
correspond with the text, for blind children learning to read.
Now concerning the future:
**Before moving to your next email, pick a project below to PC.**
You all care about service and APO, and you want to make it a
priority, but you know it happens that if you haven't formally set
some time aside, some other thing comes and makes demands on you, and
suddenly that time is gone. So sign up now, even for ones that seem
far away; they'll be here soon enough.
Saturday Oct 13, 12-5pm
Greater Boston Food Bank
Be part of a giant sorting assembly line to pack food to be shipped to
soup kitchens around Boston.

Chapter Weekend
Organize the brothers to visit Camp Resolute, a scouting camp at which
we stay overnight, enjoy each other's company, do whatever building,
disassembly, or repair projects are needed at the camp, and this year,
have Steak Fry. You will have food and transportation subPCs.

Steak Fry (Food subPC for Chapter Weekend)
Self explanatory? Cooking for large groups of people; we have to
bring everything with us this time, of course. There is also this
auction. Jo can tell you more than I can.
Saturday, Oct 20 and Sunday, Oct 21
Transportation subPC for Chapter Weekend
We have a list of alums with cars. Work with the overall PC to
arrange transportation to Camp Resolute for Chapter Weekend.
Sunday Oct 28, afternoon to early evening
children's community Halloween Party
Dress up, set up, and run an annual children's halloween party.
Monday Oct 29- Friday Nov 2
Unhinged-est Man On Campus (UMOC)
Run UMOC, in which various people choose a charity to sponsor and then
try to get others to vote for them as being the most Unhinged (we've
been having trouble getting people to sign up for Ugly in recent
years). 1 penny = 1 vote, and all the proceeds go to the winner's
charity. You get Candidates, Publicity and Manpower subPCs
Monday Oct 29- Friday Nov 2
UMOC Candidates subPC
You contact the candidates and give them the nitty gritty on UMOC, get
them to sign their consent to participate, and encourage them to make
a big fuss :)
Mon Oct 29 - Fri Nov 2
UMOC Publicity subPC
Publicize in advance of UMOC that we are looking for candidates, and
UMOC itself.
Mon Oct 29 - Fri Nov 2
UMOC Manpower subPC
Make a page on the web sign-up and make sure people sign up for it.
Sign up! Do it! Yes!
yilfs,
Brown

Duties of a service project PC:
1. Get people to sign up for the project (may include sending angry
emails and/or talking to people individually)
2. A couple days before the project, if the number of people who have
volunteered is significantly off from the number I estimated to the
organization, call the organization and ask if the new number of
volunteers is ok. Depending on what they say you may have to
apologetically cancel the project, or cap the number of your volunteers.
3. Lead the group to the project on time (you may offer to give
wake-up calls if you feel so inclined)
4. Afterward, send both me and the ApocEd an article that contains, at
minimum, the name of the place you went and a list of all the list of
people who went on the project. (Preferably you would also say a few
words about what you did and how it went.)
I'll give you all the info you need; ping me if you are unclear about
what to do.
