Well we have finally got the ball rolling with the Boys and Girls Town. It took awhile for us to get everything prepared in terms of background checks and other things but now we are meeting this weekend to begin our training for the different jobs we'll each have. We chose Boys and Girls Town and Summit Park because each of the members of our group wanted to be apart of something in the community that was dedicated to helping others. We wanted to know that we didn't just spend our time here at Drury to better ourselves through education, but to also better the community that we were now apart of by going out and serving. From all the indications we have had so far from being at the Boys and Girls Town, each of us are really excited to get started helping these kids. Right now, the plan for us is for some or possibly all of us to work with a group of 8-12 year old boys who are in need of positive influences in their life. We think this is a great opportunity for us because we can use our past experiences to help these kids in all the different aspects of their lives as they continue to grow up in a very difficult situation. We'll post again after our meeting this weekend and share all the different stuff we'll be doing this semester, I think it's going to be awesome!!
