Interested in giving?
As party organizers, Vanguard Communications is coordinating a Toddlers and Teens toy drive at the holiday party. This toy drive will coincide with the holiday giving activity that is also taking place at Vanguard's office. New, unwrapped toys or cash gifts can be collected at the party and will be donated to Toys for Tots DC, located in Anacostia. Not sure what to give? Consult the Amazon Wish List for a list of toys that the Marines say families need most.

10/7: Good World Launch Party

Esteemed friends & loved ones:

We pitched the President and made the cover of the NYT. Now it's time to show you what we got!

It's the grand unveiling of GoodWorld's #donate technology, and you're invited.

Enjoy light hors d'oeuvres, New Zealand wine, and hear why the Chairman of ALS Association wishes he had #donate for the Ice Bucket Challenge.

With fantastic local causes on hand, play with the tech and see just how easy it is to #donate.

Most importantly root us on in front of family and media!

Space is limited, so please RSVP.

Best,

Dale & Charles (Charlie)

10/5: Youth Service Opportunities Project Dinner & Fundraiser

10/5/2014

4:00pm - 9:00pm Sunday, October 5th
The Church of the Epiphany, 1317 G St NW, Washington, District of Columbia 20005

Your friends at the Youth Service Opportunities Project invite you to take part in a YSOP Service Meal at the Church of the Epiphany on Sunday, October 5th, from 4:00-9:00 p.m.

YSOP is dedicated to giving college, middle and high school students opportunities to help others through volunteer service. By involving students in meaningful volunteer work assisting people neglected by our society, youth broaden their perspectives, while developing a lifelong commitment toward volunteering.

During the Service Meal Program, participants prepare a meal, which they share over games and conversation with homeless guests. After the meal, YSOP Workcamp Leaders facilitate discussion on stereotypes, reactions to the experience and what personal goals the participants want to set after this experience.

Our Workcamp Leaders—your friends—would like for you to have a chance to participate in this meaningful program in order to see firsthand the work that they do and to be able to support both them and YSOP’s mission.

TO PARTICIPATE

We suggest a minimum donation of $25 for volunteer participants. This donation is tax deductible, and you will receive a letter of acknowledgement. To donate and reserve your place, please visit:www.ysop.org and click the “Donate to YSOP” butto on the left. Please make sure to write “DC October

Service Dinner” in the “Memorial/Honor Gift Tribute Info” section.

Other desired donations for dinner guests:

Games

Socks

Toiletries

Reusable water bottles

Cleansing wipes

Flashlights

Buy Tickets ($25 for each donation)
