This weekend has been an incredible one for RBRO. We have had many major events. Saturday morning our Stream Team met to remove invasive species and old fences from Rock Bridge State Park. From 3:30pm-8:30pm we helped out with Songs and Tongs BBQ to raise money for MU's Childrens Hospital with the Reece Raises Hope Foundation. Today we had workers at Crush Hunger, where we helped to package 100,000 meals to be sent to Africa.

It's been a busy few days for RBRO. Yesterday we took our weekly trip to South Hampton Nursing Home and had a great game of UNO. We also had our first meeting of the Rainbow House core group who made lots of cookies to send to the children there, and Stream Team picked up litter around Old Plank Road. Today we had our bimonthly trip to the Food Bank and packaged cereal and cut and folded labels for all of their food packages. We also had our usual meetings at the Intersection Monday-Thursday. Its been a great week for RBRO!!

What a wonderful morning at Flatbranch Park!! We had a Stream Team pick up today for RBRO. There was beautiful crisp weather that definitely energized us at 8am this morning. We cleaned up a ton of trash and probably a couple hundred cigarette butts to help keep our water shed healthy and litter free.



We found a football. Hopefully it's a sign the Mizzou vs. Georgia game will go well tonight!

Our group with all the trash picked up today by us and a few Columbia Stream Team members as well as a few girls from one of Mizzou's sororities.

We have some amazing numbers to share today!! Our official membership, so far this year, is just under 500 kids. I'm in awe of Rock Bridge students' commitment to service. We also had a bake sale today to raise money for our Project Linus core group, which makes blankets for kids in the hospital. They raised over $130 for materials which will help us help kids through their difficult times. We also took our first trip to The Food Bank of Central and Northeast Missouri with our Food Bank core group. We packaged over 600 cereal breakfasts for those in need of a little food.

Today was a busy day for RBRO!! Starting with an early morning Core Leader Meeting we discussed all of the great things we will be doing this semester. We also had our weekly trip to the South Hampton Place Nursing Home and played cards and visited with the residents. Then we had an ice-cream making extravaganza with the kids at The Intersection.
