Community Service Day

June 7, 2008

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead

One of the best uses of one's life is to give to others. And we have much to give. This day is for those who:

• want to be in action, improving their community
• enjoy serving together, with other men and their families
• want to support new men as they step into leadership

Expect this to be one of NoM's best days.

WHAT: Community Service Day in the greater Silicon Valley community. 3-hour projects to include:

• work for a local school
• tree planting
• donating blood
• visiting a convalescent home
• give back to Bramhall Park, where we meet each month
• sorting goods at a community food supply
• supporting the mental health community
• and more

WHO: Men of NoM, their significant others and children, guests, and any others with an interest in service. We expect 150-200 people.

WHERE: Bramhall Park (map below) until 8:30, then we go out into the Silicon Valley community until noon, then back to Bramhall at 12:45 for lunch.

WHEN: Saturday, June 7, 8 am - 2 pm

HOW: Just show up Saturday morning.  We'll first have a group photo together.  Then Project Leaders will describe their service projects and ask for participants (10-15/project) to help them.  All resources and directions to projects will be provided.  After serving side by side for 3 hours, we'll all gather back at Bramhall Park at 12:45 for lunch together.

We expect to be written up in the local newspapers as a result of our efforts.  And also want to see many new men at our March meeting.  Hope to see you there.
