Thanks for a Fantastic Service Day!

New SPEAmigos,

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!


We appreciate everyone who woke up early this morning to participate in our community service projects throughout the Bloomington area. We hope you were able to give back to your neighborhood and meet some new friends.


If you are interested in receiving future information about START, e-mail speastart@gmail.com and ask to be added to our SPEA list serve. Through the list serve you will receive notices about volunteer opportunities hosted by START and others community organizations. (We will also post them here on our blog.) In addition, use the g-mail account to send any suggestions or feedback about START or today’s events.


Thanks again for a terrific day of service! We look forward to seeing you again soon!


Best,

This is an excellent opportunity to:

· Plan educational, social and cultural programs!

· Get volunteer hours or credit towards your own coursework!

At the volunteer information and training meeting you will meet some of the board members of El Centro (who are also volunteers!), and learn more about all the different programs you can choose to get involved that will meet your interest and/or skills. Some volunteer opportunities do require ability to speak Spanish, but not all.
