FINAL DRAFT:

In a world with disease, hunger, and poverty it is hard to make a difference as an individual, but community service allows people to come together and make a difference towards a common cause. As college students we have many opportunities to participate in volunteer work. Each of the members in our group has been involved with a variety of organizations that encompass philanthropic activities. The service project required us to participate in volunteer work and relate what we have discussed in class to our volunteering. We have gained personal gratification along the way, and at the same time we knew we were contributing to the lives of people who are less fortunate. The inspiration that we gained personally and a]]> Mon, 05 May 2008 15:00:27 +0000 mod Group Three http://cas100c.pbwiki.com/Group+Three email.hidden@example.com (Christina) Christina edited Group Three It was quite evident through each community service event we participated in just how much we were helping those in need. During THON, families with sick children would continually thank us for our dedication and sacrifices, letting us know how much it meant to their families to have this event each year. The children would run around smiling or simply shoot you in the face with a water gun to say, “Thanks for being my friend.” At Relay for Life, family members and survivors spoke to the walkers about their appreciation as well during organized speeches and informal talks on the track. Although at the Blood Drive it was not directly expressed from the people in need of blood how necessary the event was, it became clear through reaching pint goals and the amount of people who showed up to donate that the volunteers did a great job in promoting the event and seeing it through. At the Second Mile, as similar to dealing with the THON children, it is the way the kids interact with the volunteers that le]]> Mon, 05 May 2008 15:00:10 +0000 mod Group Three http://cas100c.pbwiki.com/Group+Three email.hidden@example.com (Christina) Christina edited Group Three Liz: What you learned-
Community service has a lot to do with self gratification which goes along with the personal ties for each cause. Each member of our group was actively involved with THON and we took away so much from our experiences. From the beginning of the school year at our first canning trip we realized not to judge a book by the cover. We say this because we would have people donate five and ten dollars to the cause that we knew were tight on money, while at the same time a person driving a new car drives by without making eye contact to avoid the situation. An article from the collegian said, “Thon is a busy intersection. Thon is dodging traffic to get the elusive $5 bill. Thon is the new BMW that passes you by and the 1978 Dodge Dart that gives you $1.” This type of situation is sad, but we have learned that sharing stories with people who do donate make it all worth it. Sometimes it is not all about money raised or donations, but the friendships you make and the effect you have on]]> Sun, 04 May 2008 20:32:26 +0000 mod Group Three http://cas100c.pbwiki.com/Group+Three email.hidden@example.com (Liz Peters) Liz Peters edited Group Three Christina:
Our participation in community service applies to many of the concepts that we have discussed in our Speech class. One of the concepts we have learned in class was to better assess different kinds of speaking situations and diverse audiences. Our group was thoroughly involved with THON and during our time spent volunteering for the cause we were forced to overcome diverse speaking situations and audiences. As a THON moraler, it was taught not to say the word “cancer” at THON because the event is aimed to be an exciting time for these unfortunate children, and in order for them to keep their hope alive it is helpful not to mention the one thing that is changing their lives completely. Pledgebooking is another part of THON in which people go door-to-door asking for donations to help the children with cancer. Learning how to explain concepts and ideas so that they are better understood by an audience helped us when pledgebooking. We were more comfortable and successful with getting our message ]]> Sun, 04 May 2008 19:27:23 +0000 mod Group Three http://cas100c.pbwiki.com/Group+Three email.hidden@example.com (christina) christina edited Group Three Many of the concepts and lessons we discussed in speech class have helped us to effectively participate in our community service work and make a positive difference in the world.

In completing the service portion of this project, we each worked with several different organizations. As we talked about our experiences with these organizations, certain moments seemed to stick out in our minds for certain reasons. THON is the one service project that each of us was involved with. From morale and hospitality committees to chair positions for other organizations, we all participated in the events leading up to and during THON. Through these positions we worked with other students for several months, building relationships and sharing a passion for the cause. Through canning and pledge-booking to raise money, going to weekly meetings, and putting together pre-THON activities, we all knew that we wer]]> Sun, 04 May 2008 15:51:07 +0000 mod Group Seven http://cas100c.pbwiki.com/Group+Seven email.hidden@example.com (Enrique) Enrique edited Group Seven Hey guys,
I want to remind you that we have a meeting today at 1:30 PM! Please bring your laptops! Also, we need to work today, since our papers seems to be introducing the movie to the reader on every occasion. I think that Carolyn's introduction is effective, and fits the length of the paper fruitfully. Furthermore, I think Nicole, and I are going to have to withdraw some information from the opening paragraphs of masculinity and femininity. Otherwise the reader will get three different intros to the movie, and such would not be effective. Anyhow, I will see you later, and we can work on these issues!
-Enrique
So we had a productive meeting during class time today.I think that it will be good if we each aim for our parts of the paper to be 4-5 pages. Each part needs to be between 3 and 7 pages. Also, we decided to meet Thursday at 4 at our usual spot in the hub, with our sections of the paper done so that we can then review eachothers sections and begin putting them together.
