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."

US Junior Chamber seeks members for new Tulsa club

The United States Junior Chamber of Commerce is in the process of establishing a new chapter in Tulsa.  The US Junior Chamber seeks to empower young men and women, age 18-40, to create positive change in their community.  Local chapters of the Junior Chamber focus on the following four areas of development:

 

1.      Individual Development (programs dealing with personal and professional development and leadership skills)

2.      Community Development (identifying needs in the local community to create positive change through hands-on projects)

3.      Business Development (to encourage the entrepreneurial spirit while empowering men and women to best utilize their talents)

4.      International Development (getting connected with young professionals across the world through the vast international network while getting involved with the development goals of the United Nations and the UN Foundation)

 

The Greater Tulsa Junior Chamber is inducting its founding members on Tuesday, July 14.  This new organization will serve as an important addition to the Tulsa community and its future growth.  The focus of the Junior Chamber (Jaycees) has always been one of identifying needs in the community and then actually going out into the community to produce positive change via community action projects.  The primary goal of this organization is to create projects that directly impact the community.  Our members work alongside those in need to create a better tomorrow for ourselves, the community, and all those around us.

 

The group of men and women that have been identified in Tulsa thus far are amongst the best and brightest young citizens. While their backgrounds and professions are varied, they all share the common interest in wanting to take an active and hands-on role in the community. All activities in our organization are voluntary for our members.  They only have to participate in those events that they have the time and interest for.  With our diverse mission and development areas, there is something for everyone.  NEW MEMBERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOMED TO JOIN- YEAR ROUND!

 

The US Junior Chamber of Commerce has had close to 10 million members since its inception in 1920 and currently has chapters in close to 1,000 communities in the US and more than 6,000 worldwide in more than 115 countries.  We are the only international network of young active citizens.

 

We are looking for community-minded individuals interested in creating the premier organization for young people in Tulsa.  We recruit year-round and anyone is able to attend our membership meetings.

 

Check out the US website at:  www.usjaycees.org and the international site at www.jci.cc.  Feel free to also contact Laurence A. Bolotin, executive vice-president, at evp@usjaycees.org or at 918-584-2481.

 

We look forward to hearing from you.

 

Sincerely,

 

Laurence A. Bolotin

Executive Vice-President

The U.S. Junior Chamber

 

Agenda for Healthcare Day

Attached is the agenda for our day exploring Healthcare on Tuesday July 21.  We will be meeting at the OSU Center for Health Sciences at 17th & Southwest Blvd across the river.  There is a link to driving instructions and a campus map on the agenda.  Our leadership topic for the day will be resilience.  Keep cool and I'll see you then! 

Global Alliance Seeks Host Families

Invitation to Attend Tulsa Rotary Meeting w/ George Kaiser speaking

A great opportunity From your classmate Drew:

 

Wendy,

 

I sit as the LT intern on the Rotary Club of Tulsa Board; Brenda Melancon, LT classmate is a true blue board member. George Kaiser will be speaking at The Rotary Club of Tulsa on July 8, 2009 at noon. As you probably know, Mr. Kaiser does not speak publicly very often, this should be quite a treat.  We want to invite all LT classmates to this Rotary luncheon, all our LT classmates need to do is RSVP to Drew or Brenda and their lunch will be provided complimentary.  We will have an LT table at the meeting so you can sit with other classmates.  Most people arrive 15 to 30 minutes early and have lunch before the speaker begins. Rotary is looking for new younger members and I have been approached about getting the word out about Rotary. An event like this could possibly draw a big crowd from LT, especially our class. Is there a way for us to send out a mass communication about George Kaiser speaking and if someone wants to attend to contact either Brenda or myself?  For more information about the Rotary Club of Tulsa visit their web website at: www.tulsarotaryweb.com.
Thank You,

 

Drew
