March Crock Pot Thursday at Traverse City High School
We hosted our March Crock Pot Thursday with a great group of high school students. We made Chicken Taco Bowls! Super easy and delicious! We can’t say enough about how gracious and enjoyable these young people are to interact with! On top of it all, they always send a beautiful, handmade thank you card after each event!
Our Step Up Northern Michigan Volunteers are also very special as well! Thank you to Rebecca Galsterer, Michelle turner, Cathy Swaffer, Krissy Kernan and Jennifer Weekly for helping to make this event a success!
Thank you First Congregational Church Youth Group!
Thanks again Youth Group Members!
Traverse City High School Career Fair- February 15, 2017
Traverse City High School is holding a Career Day! The event is on Wednesday, February 15 from 12:45 until about 3 pm. We are looking for about 40 professionals to come in and talk to small groups of students for about 5 minutes per group. Each professional should see between eight and ten groups. We do have some suggested fields we are trying to fill (construction, health, tech, manual labor, marketing, and child care), targeting entry level positions! If you are a local employer willing to meet and train our area’s youth please let me know!
Collaboration is the key!
I love when good people collaborate in a positive way to help others! Stefee Roberts, a good tennis friend of mind suggested we try and recycle the MANY tennis ball cans that are generated at the Grand Traverse Resort! Resort pro, Bob Cawood started saving them for us and Betsy Rudolph , the Youth pastor at First Congregational Church and her team of young volunteers will soon be filling these cans with personal toiletries , and socks for our local homeless population. These cans are just the right size to fit into a backpack and are very durable! Collaboration is the key!
