Murals for the Handicapped

Each community that I work in is substantially different with often only one thing in common - The handicapped. Often these poor people are sent to the back of schools and facilities into trailers or other less favorable buildings where the paint is chipped and the future looks as bleak as the walls.

Pace Prayer Garden

Monsignor Edward Pace High School is a private Catholic school with over 1,200 students. The student body is richly diverse with Hispanics, African-Americans, Asians, and newly added an ESE Department among others. Although the school is predominantly Catholic, some of the students are of other religious traditions, and for that reason the garden is designed to showcase several different religious traditions such as Christianity, Buddhism and Shintoism.

Humane Society Visits

Through these visits, our club is trying to improve the lives of unwanted animals.

The Daytona Playhouse

For many years now, The Daytona Beach area has been immersed in expensive tourist traps that were meant to boost the economy. Unfortunatley, over time, this has not been successful, and the locals have had to face their fair share of let downs financially. The Daytona Playhouse gives the community an opportunity to overlook this in their lives and allows them to be apart of something wether they are in the audience, behined the scenes, or on stage providing laughter to the fellow community members that have fallen under hard times.

National Public Lands Day “Hike and Weed”

Join A Million And One Volunteers

We are looking for good people who want to be a part of growing goodness in their communities. On 8/8/08 Growing In Goodness is having their annual Nations of Service Day. The project theme this year is A Million And One. Our goal is to have A Million And One volunteers serving on this day. By focusing on the million, we are trying to get a large number of people serving one another to grow the goodness in the world.

Comfort For Canines

Comfort For Canines is a individually founded program in which I collect blankets, towels, comforters, and dogs beds in new or good condition. Also, paper towels and hand sanitizer are collected and donated to the Broward Humane Society, including its many branch offices. I travel there three times a month, depending on the size of the present donation load. So far, we have collected over thousands of dollars in paper and bedding for Broward County alone.

Volunteers for Abused and Neglected Children

Are you interested in helping children in the foster care system? If so, Hudson County CASA is currently recruiting volunteers to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children. CASA works through trained community volunteers to insure that needed services and assistance are made available to children while helping to move them toward safe and permanent homes. CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) and its volunteers speak for children in court, serve as fact finders for the judges and safeguard the interests of the children while they are in the foster care system.

Keepin' It Green

Mission: As a group, we are striving to advocate to our community for environmental concerns. By designing a kick-off of environmental action, we strongly believe that people simply need the knowledge! As the catalyst, we hope to benefit our lives and those of future generations. Description: On April 26, 2008, we will be hosting a day of tree and flower planting at a local open space. Involving our school, inspiring our leadership, and envisioning our dream are ways we are taking the current problems into our own hands.
