Building up to a final workday, our focus will lie with advertising and bringing awareness about our cause. Through this, we hope to find volunteers willing to help on our Final Challenge Day. This day will entail refurbishing an area that needs an environment makeover by planting trees, flowers, and other plants. After the workday, we will hold a barbeque for our volunteers. This is not only as a thank you, but also for added awareness.</p> </p><p><a href="http://www.dosomething.org/node/63089">read more</a></p> http://www.dosomething.org/node/63089#comments active Education &amp; Environment relevant vital 39.881608 -105.099530 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 15:59:49 -0500 jnicoleanderson 63089 at http://www.dosomething.org http://www.dosomething.org/node/42923 <p><p>Through my struggle in making the Girls' Varsity Tennis Team I have learned the invaluable lesson that with hard work and determination, I can accomplish anything.
