International Book Project
Alpha Zeta hosted the Section 67 Conference this past weekend,
creating an awesome opportunity to do service with brothers from other
chapters. I teamed up with some brothers from NKU, EKU, and Centre, and
headed over to the International Book Project. The IBP is an amazing
nonprofit that collects books and ships them to communities in less
developed countries, where books are a scarce resource. Who loves
promoting international literacy? APO loves promoting international
literacy! After watching a short documentary on the founding and
mission of the IBP (which, by the way, was started in the basement of
one very cool lady), we did some crazy cool service. We helped the IBP
promote an event it's co-sponsoring, a talk hosted by former Indian
President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, by stuffing some pretty snazzy looking
invitations and addressing them. The work was fun and allowed us to
mingle and get to know our brothers from out of town. Afterwards, we
browsed the IBP's bookstore, which is full of great titles.
I definitely reccommend volunteering at the International Book
Project! Their mission is amazing, the people are wonderful, and the
work is rewarding! Plus, they've got some really awesome T-shirts for
sale!

Lighthouse Ministries Service
Lighthouse ministries,
this was an amazing Service event!!! But there are a few things that should be considered when volunteering for this organization. It is a very, very religious facility. Before serving dinner, you will pray and then listen to christian music and in addition to that listen to a guy preach about how he got saved by god. BUT in my opinion it wasn't a bad thing. The homeless that were there appreciated him in every way. It was amazing to see how hopeful some of those sitting there looked, just after they walked in having impressions on their faces that were so full of hopelessness.
If you are truly against religion and really don't want to deal with religion at all, then you should keep your hands off this project. Otherwise if you really want to see how little things like serving dinner to a few homeless people can change their life and turn it around in many ways, then go for it! This is your thing to do!!!

Happy Egg Fundraiser
The happy egg fundraiser was quite a success, somewhat at least. It is
important to choose the right neighborhood and the right time of the
day/week. Sundays might not be the best day since many people aren't
home. That's the major problem we ran into. Most people weren't
available. But I believe that trying it again with a different
neighborhood, further away from campus and maybe on a Saturday would
raise our chances by far.
What is the happy egg fundraiser?
First you go to a house and ask for an egg donation. Then, if you get one you decorate it with a sharpie. But a smiley face on it or something funny. Then go to the next house and ask for a donation in exchange for the egg. And so on and on.
The MOST FUNdraiser ever!
