1/27/12
Tell all your non-CCI friends to nonres at CCI because we're really awesome and they just really need to experience the awesome that they're missing out on. Besides, who really wants to get stuck somewhere like the midquads?
EVERYONE MUST GO TO BUSINESS SYMPOSIUM ON FEBRUARY 1 AT 5PM, even if you have zero interest in business, because marketing [yourself] is important no matter what career field you end up in. Besides, free catered dinner and the opportunity to really learn from CEOs!
Have a great weekend!
~Amy

The Standard Club in Chicago
Literature for All of Us serves over 500 at-risk young people aged 12-21 through weekly book group discussions and poetry writing facilitated by professional leaders.
We are holding our annual Gala fundraising, WORDplay, a night of Chance which will be a night of Gambling, Word games and great prizes including poker and bananagram tournaments. We are looking for about 35-40 volunteers. We need them at 4pm the night of the event for training, we will provide dinner before the gaming starts and they will be working from approximately 7-11pm. It might be a great opportunity for some networking for the students, maybe name tags with their name and major/area of study interest will spark conversations throughout the evening.Check it out or email us.
Volunteering at Have Dreams
Help children with Autism reach their full potential! This quarter every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 4:30 to 6 PM, we are volunteering at the Evanston Have Dreams site. If you would like to know more about this event then please Sign Up Here. We are also looking for new coordinators. Their job is to inform the Vice President of Off Campus Activities of any problems a volunteer may have had while at Have Dreams, while also keeping track of the members who volunteered during their particular day. If you are interested please Sign Up Here.
Chinatown Clinic
The Chinatown Clinic (CTC) provides free primary care to an underserved, mostly uninsured, and mainly immigrant population. The clinic is the sole provider of healthcare for most of the patients and has served over 2000 people since its inception. The clinic is open every week on Sunday mornings at 11:00 am and is scheduled to run until 1:00 pm. Northwestern undergraduates serve mainly as translators, working directly with patients. The clinic also needs help with two other projects: creation of a health education program for the clinic patients and raising funds for the clinic. Volunteers with backgrounds in fundraising/health education and who can speak Chinese, as well as anyone else interested, are welcome to join! Meetings will be held on Fridays. To join, please contact Ryan with your rationale for joining, any relevant experiences, and a list of the other activities with which you're currently involved.
