NWTC has nearly 50 student clubs and orgs. Students looked at their options Sept. 24 in the Commons. See the complete list: www.nwtc.edu/atnwtc/student-involvement/clubs-org/Pages/h...
Students at Misericordia University had the opportunity to attend the Involvement Fair on Thursday, September 2nd, in the Anderson Center. The fair gave students the opportunity to learn about the various clubs and organizations on campus and how to get involved.
Our greatest thanks to everyone that contributed to the drive, we collected 32,018 items to be distributed to 6 organizations: Pathway, First Light, Firehouse, YWCA, Gateway and CanSurvive.
This nothing short of AMAZING!!!!! Every contribution will be greatly appreciated be each of the organizations.
I have had an extensive involvement with the Montwood Girls Soccer program for almost five years. In that time I have attended every game. I have been involved, mostly behind the scenes, in improving that program.
I have written letters and met with adminstrators and coaches to try to help a program that had basically been the stepchild of Montwood athletics since the school opened around 1992.
My daughter played varsity soccer at Montwood for 4 years. I can still remember when she was a freshman, how exicted we were at all the possibilites before us. Well, my daughter graduated June 4, 2010. I must say it hit me very hard. Her soccer activities had been such a big part of my life. I don't think it has sunk in yet, but I know I am going to miss it very much.
After years of futility with coaches that were lacking, to say the least, the girls finally made a run at the district championship. I am just thankful for all the wonderful memories....they will last a lifetime.
After many years of waiting, I finally got the opportunity to do something involving food and drink from a vantage point high up in The Shard - official reigning champion for the 'most Mordor looking building in London awardâ (disclaimer: this competition does not exist). The event was another part of Rum Experience Week, organised by the rum ambassador Ian Burrell (thatâs him looking dapper in the hat), and was held at Campariâs headquarters on the 27th floor. Unfortunately, as it was night, and the lighting in the building was turned up something fierce, you couldnât really see out into the city too well (way too much in the way of reflections - turn the lights off pls thx). So no amazing cityscape views - just amazing rumâ¦views. Views of rum. Which is OK.
Anyway, I say this tasting was held in The Shard, but in reality, as a 'twitter tastingâ, the event was more or less held wherever people were 'listening inâ (is that the right term for following a hashtag?). Appleton Estate had been giving away in the month or so leading up to the event, and so people as far away as Sweden were getting involved as Appleton Estateâs senior blender, David Morrison, took listeners through four of Appletonâs main range (thatâs him in the black jumper near Ian / often holding the mic). In order, this range was The Appleton Signature Blend, The Appleton Rare Blend (12 year), and The Appleton 21. My personal preference? The 12. And at £25ish a bottle, by my whisky-calibrated price standards, that seems pretty resonable.
As you can also see in the pictures, some of the UKâs most promising bartenders showed up for a little competition involving cocktails made out of Appleton Estate. I canât remember who won but I do remember that the level of audience appreciation/enthusiasm was⦠worthy of the talent on display behind the bar. It was also great to hear the story of each cocktail. The Welsh guyâs cocktail was supposedly inspired by being mugged he once experienced?!...
More about the folks involved. David had flown all the way over from the Nassau Valley, Jamaica, to endure dark, grey English weather in the exchange for the chance to presumably educate English people about the joys of extremely strong rum - and share out some of Appletonâs 50 year Jamaica Independence bottling (of which I got to try a glass, fuuuuuuuuck me son). I am still a rum padawan, and likely will be for some time - but some mind expanding, palette expanding, waistline expanding discoveries have been made, and Iâll be sure to pay more attention to Appleton Estate and all the nice things that they seem to get up to on that bloody great sugarcane farm of theirs. Well done, guys!
Taken from page 15 of "Essentials of Foundation Strategy," highlights that more than 40 percent of foundation CEOs say they want more board involvement in assessing strategy, and the same proportion want more board involvement in assessing impact. This report was published by the Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP) in December 2009. Download the report here: www.effectivephilanthropy.org/index.php?page=publications.
