LT forming teams for Day of Caring

As members of Class 41 I hope you will consider helping us with our Day of Caring teams.  This is a first for us and a very worthy cause!

 

Leadership Tulsa is forming work teams for the United Way Day of Caring, Scheduled for Friday, September 11.  If your company is not participating this year, please consider joining the Leadership Tulsa team! 

 

The event will kick off at H.A. Chapman Stadium at the University of Tulsa.  Breakfast will be served at Thomas Plaza, (west of the stadium) at 6:30 a.m. with the Campaign Kickoff at 7:30 a.m.  At 8:15 a.m., volunteers will leave for their assigned projects at one of TAUW's 63 partner agencies. 

 

Depending on the number of volunteers we can recruit, we may work at one facility or break up into groups and work at different facilities.  Our volunteer skills could be used for painting, yard work, light duty repairs, spending time with the elderly or reading to children, just to name a few.

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact membership committee member Tracie Leonhart tracieleonhart@yahoo.com by September 1st. 

 

Once we have complete listing of volunteers, a listing of projects available to LT will be emailed to the volunteers.  Each volunteer will then select three projects and email those selected projects back to Tracie.  We will then place each individual on one of their three project choices. 

 

In addition, if anyone would like a Day of Caring T-shirt, you can go to the following website to order  a T-shirt http://www.tauw.org/tauw/Day_of_Caring_T-Shirt__Event_RSVP_Info.asp.  Orders placed by 4th of September will be received prior to the DOC.  Shirts ordered after this date will arrive AFTER the DOC event. 

 

If anyone has any questions, please contact Tracie directly at 289-6168. 

Sponsorship in Action

I know your group has already covered Sponsorship and is moving on to Resilience.

I wanted to go back for a minute and share something that I thought was a great portrayal of Sponsorship. It's the actor Joseph Fiennes (brother of actor Ralph Fiennes). He's giving a speech after a visit to Angola. It's just 4 and 1/2 minutes, but here's an example of someone using his social force to bring attention to an issue that's important to him.

I like using video clips of other people to illustrate what the capacities look like. It's one thing to read about it in my chapters. I also realize that many of you need more than "theory."
