Community Service

When is the last time you've done some Community Service?

Last week at this place in DC called Martha's Table. We basically make food for the homeless, and less fortunate families. They also have a day care program but I haven't had a chance to do that because I work during the week. I can't wait until school starts though so I can go at least twice a week because I really like it. Its so laid back and the people are really nice. So for everyone in the DC area you should check that out. They take group volunteers also.

I always do little things when I'm home in the community especially with young men around the 13-18yr old range. Father's are hard to come by where I live so alot of young men need some guidance from young and older influences much like i did. One of these several things that I was involved in is a step team based out of my church that steps at different church and youth functions. It started off with an Alpha from my church a couple of years ago and he asked me to help out and I called one of my homeboys in KKPsi as well and its been pretty tight this summer. The youngest is only 10. Prolly about 4 feet and he kills it. The oldest is 18 and about 6' 7''. It always cracks us up when the get in a line by height but I digress. Most of these kids would be out in the street doing lord knows whats up during the times we practice because there isn't too much else for them to do. So its good they have something to come to once in a while. Outside of the unofficial things, I know one of the last community service projects I did with frat this past semester was participating in an event called "Relay for Life" in ATL. This is pretty much an ALL NIGHT walk-a-thon for the cause of cancer. Pretty much you have to have somebody on the track at all hours of the night and people pledge momney based on how many laps or how long they stay out there. So bascially if people weren't walkin in my chapter they were coughin up some dough and because we are a fraternity of musicians we would sing or serenade some folk throughout the night. It was pretty cool... I usually enjoy myself during events of that nature.
