Dear Dudley Volunteers, Just a reminder about the special Thanksgiving meal served tonight (Friday) at the Harvard Square Homeless Meals Program (Zero Garden Street). This is a great chance to help out and spread some holiday cheer. As always, feel free to come anytime between 2:30 and 8. I hope you are all having wonderful holiday weekends wherever they may have taken you and to see some of you this afternoon! All best, Maria --------------------------------------------------------------- Dudley Public Service Fellows Denise Ho, Ernesto Martinez, and Maria Stalford Lehman Hall, 1 Harvard Yard, Cambridge, MA 02138 fax: (617) 496-5459 http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~dudley/fellows/pubserv/pubserv.html To receive updates about Dudley Public Service Events, go to http://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/dudley-pubserv __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Fwd: Relay for Life Board App

by Dudley Public Service

This is a great chance to get involved in planning for the Relay for Life (an American Cancer Society walk) coming up in the spring! Maria Edmonds Stalford <stalford(a)fas.harvard.edu> wrote: ----- Forwarded message from Talia Kraemer ----- Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2004 18:13:41 -0500 (EST) From: Talia Kraemer Reply-To: Talia Kraemer Subject: Relay for Life Board App To: Talia Kraemer *** Note: Sorry if you're receiving this more than once! *** Hey guys! The time's finally come to pick our Relay for Life Board in preparation for our big event in the beginning of Mayish (the date hasn't been set by the city of Cambridge yet). Just to give you guys some background, Relay for Life is an annual American Cancer Society event. Basically, it's an 18 hour overnight cancer walk in which teams of about 10 members try to keep at least one person on the team walking at any given point. In addition to being a huge fundraiser, the national Relays for Life are also a means of establishing a presence in the community, celebrating cancer survivorship, and recruiting volunteers. We, as Harvard students, get to help out with the Cambridge Relay for Life, which usually takes place the first weekend in May. You can personally participate to whatever degree you find suits you. You can participate on the actual day of the event as a walker or as a team captain, heading up a group of walkers (organizing a team, collecting dues, etc.), help out with individual activities between now and then (we'll keep you updated by e-mail about upcoming events), or be part of the Relay board. The Relay board will consist of 15 members (the 13 of you plus us) and will hold board meetings once a week, planning fundraisers, publicity, community contacts, etc. We'll pretty much be entirely responsible for directing the Harvard community's participation in Relay in addition to helping the city of Cambridge with whatever they need. It's an awesome way to really get involved in a good cause and see a lot of spirit, so we'd definitely recommend applying for a board position! If you're interested, please e-mail gcwang@fas and smreddy@fas by Saturday, November 13th by midnight answers to the following questions. If not, we'll letyou know during the course of the year how else you can help out. Thanks a lot guys! 1) Why do you want to be on the relay board? 2) Have you been involved in relay or another harvard cancer society program before? If so, which ones? What roles did you play in them? What other past experience do you have that would contribute to the board? 3) Please list your top three position choices, and explain why you like each of them, and what you could contribute to the position. 4) Please detail, as specifically as possible, your availability for this semester. Please keep in mind that due to the important nature of board meetings, schedule flexibility may be a factor in choosing the relay 2005 board. The possible board positions and descriptions: Team Captains (1): you will be responsible, as we get closer to Relay, for helping recruit team captains; being their point of contact with the rest of the board; directing them in terms of collecting money, distributing information, etc, Publicity (3): We need 3 students to publicize the event on campus, to businesses, and in hospitals/healthcare facilities in the area. You will be working with the other positions to publicize fundraisers and other activities leading up to the event as well. Fundraising (2): Organizes and heads at least two major fundraising projects prior to Relay. Last year, we had a club night at the Kong, which raised over $900! We are very open to new ideas for this year as well. Survivorship (2): Contacts local hospitals, healthcare centers, and also cancer survivors. Recruits survivors to participate in Relay. They give us a face to fight for, and they are integral to what we do. Logistics (2): The go-to people, when it comes to reserving rooms for meetings, transporting equipment, food, etc. to and from Relay. And other logistical issues. School Liaison (3): Two liaisons will work on on-campus publicity. Postering, working in conjunction with local groups to form teams, etc. One liaison will work with representatives from other schools, in the same capacity as the two on-campus liaisons. Food Donations (1): Contacting local restaurants and food establishments to get food donations and food gift certificates for the Relay event. Treasurer (1): Will work on grant-writing (e.g., UC), and will be in control of the checkbook. Entertainment (1): Will contact local arts groups to perform at Relay, and will also organize activities for the event (e.g., ping pong, volleyball, etc.) Remember, quality is more important than quantity...so good luck with your apps and we hope to meet you all during the course of the year. We'll let you know within a few days after the 12th. Tah tah! Good luck! ----Sangeetha (smreddy@fas) and Grace (gcwang@fas) ----- End forwarded message ----- --------------------------------------------------------------- Dudley Public Service Fellows Denise Ho, Ernesto Martinez, and Maria Stalford Lehman Hall, 1 Harvard Yard, Cambridge, MA 02138 fax: (617) 496-5459 http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~dudley/fellows/pubserv/pubserv.html To receive updates about Dudley Public Service Events, go to http://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/dudley-pubserv --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

Volunteer! Eat Pie!

by Maria Edmonds Stalford

Two Thanksgiving-related announcements from Dudley Public Service: 1. HOMELESS MEALS PROGRAM THANKSGIVING DINNER Friday, 11/26, 2:30-8PM 2. THANKSGIVING PIES Place your order by tomorrow, 11/17 ***************************** 1 HOMELESS MEALS PROGRAM. As Thanksgiving approaches, Dudley Public Service would like to let you know we will be volunteering to serve a very special Thanksgiving meal to the homeless the day after Thanksgiving, Friday 11/26, at the Harvard Square Homeless Meals Program at Christ Church, Zero Garden Street. This is a continuation of our regular volunteer commitment at the Homeless Meals Program, which is ordinarily on Thursdays. (Be aware that the program is cancelled on Thursday 11/25 itself) This Thanksgiving meal is also a great chance to get an introduction to the program and its volunteers and guests. Just like during the regular Thursday program, volunteers can come any time from 2:30-8PM. If you come earlier (before 5PM), you are most likely to help with preparing the food, from 5 to 7 or so you are most likely to help with serving and towards the end with cleaning up. Please feel free to come at any point and for any amount of time you can spare. We hope to see some of you next Friday, and please also keep in mind that everyone is _always_ welcome to volunteer at the meals program on regular Thursdays, including this Thursday, 11/18. Questions? Please email us at dudleypublicservice(a)yahoo.com ******************************* 2. THANKSGIVING PIES TO BENEFIT COMMUNITY SERVINGS Dudley volunteers helped out at the kitchen last weekend at Community Servings, Greater Bostons free, hot, home-delivered meals program for people living with AIDS and their dependents and caregivers, 95 percent of whom live below the poverty line. Pie in the Sky is Community Servings largest fundraiser and has been dubbed the worlds greatest bake sale. Delicious apple, pumpkin, sweet potato, pecan, and diabetic apple pies are donated by over 100 of Bostons best restaurants. If you would like to order a delicious Pie in the Sky pie for your familys holiday celebration (and make possible a very special Thanksgiving meal for Community Servings clients), please visit www.pieinthesky.org and place your order by tomorrow, 11/17. Its easy! Pies can be picked up on Wednesday 11/24 right at Holyoke Center and dozens of other locations throughout the greater Boston area. Best holiday wishes from all of us, Denise, Ernesto, and Maria --------------------------------------------------------------- Dudley Public Service Fellows Denise Ho, Ernesto Martinez, and Maria Stalford Lehman Hall, 1 Harvard Yard, Cambridge, MA 02138 fax: (617) 496-5459 http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~dudley/fellows/pubserv/pubserv.html To receive updates about Dudley Public Service Events, go to http://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/dudley-pubserv

by Dudley Public Service

Dear Dudley Volunteers, Just a reminder about our Pie in the Sky Box Party coming up next weekend on Saturday, November 13. Please RSVP for the party by replying to me at this address by tomorrow, November 5, by 2pm or so if possible. (This is because Community Servings would like a count and the names of our volunteers.) Pie in the Sky is the world�s largest bake sale and is a fundraiser to benefit Community Servings, Greater Boston�s free, hot, home-delivered meals program for people living with AIDS and their dependents and caregivers, 95 percent of whom live below the poverty line. Dudley volunteers will help out with this major effort by constructing the boxes that will store thousands of mouth-watering, donated pies. We�ll be meeting on the Dudley steps around 8:30AM on the 13th for breakfast before heading downtown (Community Servings has not yet confirmed the exact location, though it will be downtown rather than at their Roxbury location). We will be back by 12:30. For more information about all the great work that Community Servings does, visit http://www.servings.org/home.html If you would like to order a delicious Pie in the Sky pie for your family�s holiday celebration (and make possible a very special Thanksgiving meal for Community Servings� clients), please visit www.pieinthesky.org Thanks so much and I hope to see you next Saturday!
