Great Orientation = Mucho Anticipation

So the whole group met together for the first time this past weekend, and we must say, it seems like just the right kind of group to guarantee a meaningful and fantastic trip. Our lovely Sunday morning, lasting well into the evening (we love our staff) was filled with icebreakers, text studies, meeting, greeting, and most importantly, excitement. We had the privilege of sharing the day with Leslie and Howard Schultz and family. They shared valuable insight regarding the history of our cause, and what we can expect from this awesome trip. Learning from Howard's encouraging words will certainly push our students to raise more than ever to benefit Baby Help and L'Dor V'Dor Old Age Home. 

Props to the Huggy Bear champions from Saturday night. It was an intense game, and thank goodness no one was hurt.

Moving on to other exciting news: Various fundraising events are taking place in the coming weeks. Look forward to a Plucker's fundraiser of which 20% of the proceeds will be donated upon the mention of our trip. This will be taking place on Plucker's Open-Mic Night Tuesday, February 17th. We are also pleased to announce a continuing trend, a benefit party. Last year, the members of JDC Alternative Spring Break threw a wicked party at a Co-op. This year we will be throwing a super-wicked-awesome party at the Zeta Beta Tau House on February 26th. We hope to see you there, and please bring along friends, as all the money made will be donated to Baby Help. 

More to come from your Argentina blogsquad. We are so excited to share our experience with you. We'll keep you posted. ;) 

Ciao, for now.
