The Contest-

GMG Red Sox Tickets and GMG XL Long Sleeve Logo Shirt contest

First order on the meeting agenda is the fact that it is almost the end of tourist season and where the heck are we going to start finding our french fries?

Did anyone bring a pencil?  Whose turn is to write the meeting minutes?  Why do you always get the highest piling?  What makes you so special?

I took this photo because I thought it was funny that 3 seagulls looked like they were having a meeting.  I just realized that there are actually 4 seagulls sitting on the pilings.

oey,

Good morning! This is Jordan Olson from LEAP for Education. We’re currently looking for volunteers in the Gloucester area to help with our College Success Program. I’ve attached a volunteer flyer and I was hoping that you would be able to post it onto your GMG blog!

We’re especially looking for volunteers that can be there on Mondays for the Gloucester Program. Here is a bit about what a volunteer can expect to do:

• Prior to the meetings: Reading the pre-planned lesson plan and preparing for the activities by collecting materials,etc.
• Setting up the room, putting out the snacks, writing agenda on board for students, turning on computers, etc.
• Taking weekly attendance and keeping track of students’ grades on a quarterly basis
• Reminding students of upcoming meetings and follow up with students who are not meeting attendance standards
• Monitoring and assisting students as they work on assigned tasks (such as resume writing, college and/or scholarship applications, financial aid forms, registering for college entrance exams like SAT’s, Subject Tests, ACT’s, etc.)
• Cleaning up, putting away snacks, etc.
• Reflecting on the lesson and what the students got out of the activities so we can make changes for the future

If you have any questions/concerns please contact me.

Best wishes,

Jordan
