[Capital Cause] This Saturday's Spring Fling with City Year at Kelly Middle School

[J M]

Hi Capital Cause Volunteers!

Your time is important to us, and we thank you so much for giving time to the valuable cause of food deserts in Ward 7!

This Saturday, we will be collaborating with City Year to help them host their Spring Fling event.  We will need volunteers to arrive between 12 noon and 12:15pm at the Kelly Miller Middle School in the front of the building, under the “Kelly Miller” engraving. 

We will be wearing outfits in red, green, or white, and if you can too, that would be great!  If you have your Capital Cause pin (from the Spring Soiree), please be sure to wear it, too!

We have several team roles that you can help out with:  1) Food Prep (Cutting up the strawberries and measuring the ingredients), 2) Runner (more like walking the smoothies between the kitchen and our table!), 3) Table Managers (making sure the people coming to the table hear our “health foods” talking points, distributing the smoothies, telling the runner to tell the kitchen we need more), and 4) Marketers (encouraging people to come over to the table for smoothies and information on how to eat more healthy).  It’ll be first come, first serve on which role you’re assigned to.

During the day, be sure to Tweet your support to @Capital_Cause and @CityYear, using #Food_ASAP.  To help you find our team members, we have their pictures and contact information attached!

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Good Afternoon!

Thank you again for your interest in volunteering with team Food_ASAP at the Spring Fling. 

Because it is raining, the event will be held indoors. Please use the side entrance by the basketball courts. We are located at the green table right behind the registration desk.

Hope to see you soon!

Hi Everyone!

Great job yesterday! I hope you all had as much fun as I did with the students at Kelly Miller Middle School and educating them about the importance of healthy eating. I just wanted you all to know that I have a phone call with Mr. Hobbs from Kelly Miller (he finally responded to my emails) about the May 29th event. Do we still want to move forward and host the Strawberries and Salad Greens event at Kelly Miller next week? 

Let me know what you all think --thanks much!

Chasity 

P.S. - My cell phone was stolen last night, so please contact me by email until further notice.

I say go for it!  If most of the kids at the event were from Kelly miller, it will be good reinforcement.

Hi All,

 

If we are doing the event at Kelly Miller next week, I can let my contact at OSSE know.  The talking points were in review, but should be ready by next week.  I can also ask for the same donation of ingredients by DC Central Kitchen.  Please let me know once we’ve confirmed with Assistant Principal Hobbs.

 

Thanks,

Jen
