Getting Ready for all the kiddos.

Happy Halloween everyone! To celebrate this great holiday some of our RBRO members volunteered at the Tiger Night of Fun at the Hearnes Center! We played fun games with the trick-or-treaters, like throw the "pumpkin" in the cauldron, and passed out tons of candy. We even had a dance party, snapping lessons, and a few juggling acts! Thanks to everyone who came! Also sorry in advance for the abundance of pictures of this event, our volunteers are just so darn photogenic, I couldn't choose.



Meet RBRO #1

Welcome to our first installment of Meet RBRO! Here's some more information on our core leaders and all of the fantastic work they are doing with their groups.

Our core leaders for Stream Team are Sammy and Adam. They are both juniors at Rock Bridge and have a passion for keeping our Missouri water ways clean. Stream Team has met several times this year to pick up litter around streams and water sheds in our area.

 Brittany and David are our leaders for
the Missouri Food Bank Core. Two
Thursdays a month they take a group of Rock Bridge kids to the food bank to help package foods. The most common food we package is cereal.

Katy and Sam are two of our leaders for Project Linus. They're both very involved juniors at Rock Bridge. For Project Linus they organize bake sales and coordinate meetings so we can buy fabric and make tie blankets for children in the hospital. These blankets serve as a major comfort for these children.

Also for a general update on today's events, we played UNO at the nursing home, and we have expanded our work with The Intersection to 5 days a week!

October 3rd 2012

We had three different activities tonight with RBRO!! Our Project Linus Core group had their second blanket making meeting of the year! We made 4 blankets for kids in the hospital. We also had our weekly outing to South Hampton Nursing Home and played UNO, and enjoyed the beautiful fall weather under a crab apple tree with one of the residents. Our Wednesday meeting at the Intersection also went well. We did the Coke and Mentos experiment.

Our eager blanket makers, especially when fueled by cookies, can get a lot done.

 

We had a great game of UNO going today!
