CAP Madness

Check It Out! It's the flyer for my CAP Project coming up in march. If you want me to send you the pdf file, let me know.

Worst Day of the Year Ride 2007! My first 18 mile bike ride.

A bad quality picture but a good quality memory. Check out my dino spikes.

I'm also looking for a super beginner runner to do the shamrock run with me in mid march.

Hello Guys,
I wanted to see if this worked, and it did!!

This is my little friend, the Tarsier, one of the lower primates. He is keeping me company here at Southeast Uplift.

If anyone is looking to read a good book, I am reading "All About Love" by bell hooks and she is a feminist that keeps it real.

See ya soon :)

hi, y'all

I sent you each an invitation to my CAP party -- well, fundraiser, really. It's a little soiree at my house with free food and champagne and fabulous live jazz. I hope you can make it. No obligation for donations -- it would be so nice to have you all here. Sunday March 4 11-1.

I'm happy to brainstorm ride options. The #44 bus goes practically to my back door.

I hope your CAPs are all going well -- and I'm available to help in any way I can.

Earth Leadership Training anyone?

I posted this on the big yahoo group account, but I hope some of you are interested....cause I like you better than all of the other ameri buddies and would rather see your shining faces every other week....just kidding...but not really.

The Earth Leadership Center offers a 6 session training on a whole series of environmental issues. Any group of 6-12 people can request the training, and they will come out and give the presentations where the group meets. The only cost for people is the book with all of the material in it, which is fifteen dollars. I think this could be a really cool opportunity for some Americorps/NWSA members to meet up (maybe even downtown or SE) for coffee or lunch every two weeks, and brush up on the "issues." Check out the website for more info, and hit me up if you want to be a part of the group.

Excellent Opportunity!

Hi Team!

I just wanted to give you a heads up about a GREAT opportunity for you to gain some experience in the grant-making area.

Please read the note below from Lara Jones, IP Coordinator at NWSA. NWSA is calling for proposals for AmeriCorps positions, like yours. As we receive many proposals, we need readers to go over them and offer constructive feedback on whether this would be a good placement for a member. Who is better to know what would be a good AmeriCorps position than YOU.

Please see the note below from Lara to learn more about how to become a community reader:


Hello Friends of Northwest Service Academy,

Do you have interest in helping us select AmeriCorps Sponsor sites for the 2007-2008 service year?

The Northwest Service Academy needs community readers for our 2007-2008 Request For Proposals (RFP) process! We need you to help us determine projects that meet AmeriCorps requirements as well as fit the Northwest Service Academy's program objectives. Community readers will review approximately 8-10 applications and provide feedback to NWSA staff on project proposals. Readers will need to be available to pick up proposals and attend the Community Reader Event on March 21st from 6:00 - 8:00pm at LCC office (see address below) and return the proposals with feedback to Lara Jones by April 4th.

Proposals will be focused on environmental education, resource conservation, watershed restoration, enhancing public lands, and increasing volunteerism in environment and education.

If you are interested or need more information, please contact Lara Jones at 503-234-2383 x102 or Lara.Jones@ed112.org by March 14th.

Thank you!!
