It's Almost Thanksgiving!

Hello Everyone! 


I Hope everyone is looking forward to Thanksgiving break and all the good food we get to stuff our faces with! This month Isabel's Angels planned on volunteering at an event of Isabel's unfortunately they told us the week of the event we were no longer needed. On the plus side we have scheduled times to work at Isabel's house for the weeks to come! We are also planning a bake sale in the commons to raise awareness about Isabel's house, all proceeds will be going towards Isabel's house. Thus far I feel like I haven't impacted Isabel's House as much as I would like too, but I think that feeling will change when I begin working at the house next week. 


Summit has been a great experience I couldn't ask for better roommates! I LOVE having my own room, a kitchen, and a washer and dryer! Also our fellow Summit neighbors are pretty darn cool! The last summit social was awesome! There is nothing like a 5 layer bean dip, hot dogs, and sweets! The best part of summit this month is when I see our neighbors Christmas decorations all lit up and cute, it always makes me feel all warm inside. 


So far I am really liking the stress free and wellness program! I definitely like Tia Chi it makes me want to just bust down a wall with my chi. Also yoga has been cool I really like the lion Pose. The wellness program has also taught me relaxation techniques that help when I am under a lot of stress. 


To sum everything up summit is pretty darn AWESOME and everything that we do for summit is a great experience and a lot of fun!


I hope everyone has an AWESOME BREAK!

OUR LIVES

I would like to first make a formal apology to my household for having had to purchase my third pair of keys this semester. SO NOT CHEAP.

On the newsfront for Isabel's House we are planning a small bake sale after Thanksgiving Break outside the Common so that we can get kids on campus aware of the mission and impact the organization has on Springfield specifically due to the fact the Green Country has the highest rate of child abuse and neglect in the midwest. So, any goodie requests let us know but Puppy Chow will be an essential.

On other philanthropy news, the Angels have been working hard on our chapter's annual Puttin On the Lips!  I am so happy to report that it was a HUGE success this year raising over 7,000 dollars for a child attending Rivendale school. This is a project that is near and dear to myheart because I work with the Inclusion program for Summer Camps in St. Louis. Thank you everyone you have truely made a difference in a child's life. If you ever get the opportnity to workwith a child with Autism youwill instantly realize what cool and interesting kids they are tohang out with!

PS THE SOCIAL WAS THE BEST COOKIES IVE EVER HAD.

This is Rachel, she is diagnosed with Downs Syndrome and is the biggest Micheal Jackson fan I have ever known. I worked one on one with her all summer and made some hilarious memories. I urge everyone to get involved with children with special needs they are the bees knees!!!!!

Even though you have seen this for DAYS taking over your facebook thank you again for supporting a great cause!!

This is just a cute picture of Emily...aaha why we love her.

has it really been a month?!

Yesterday Emily and I went to Isabel's House and turned in our background checks and physicals so now we are ready to get started volunteering with the kids. We plan on using some of our money to throw them a Christmas Party after Thanksgiving Break. This semester is going by so fast...better start working on our presentations. Can't wait for massage week :)


See everyone tonight,
