Charity Work

I'd imagine this would be a good place for this.
My roommate is the head of Philanthropy of his fraternity and he asked me to put the word out for him that they are looking for events or places that would benefit from their help.

They're a good bunch of Rutger's students, looking to give back to the community a little more.

Please contact me with your information, as well as time/place/date/etc and I will forward it to him.

Thanks guys.

PS
This can or cannot be automotive related. Just to make this clear, they're goal is to volunteer for a philanthropic cause and help people, not be free labor.

The easiest thing to do that we do is do road cleanups...go to the township and tell them you would like to sponsor a road, they will give you all the tools and such and they might even pay you so you can donate/buy lunch for the guys/whatever

You can have them volunteer at the local big brother/big sister thing. Hang out with the juve's.

+1 not a bad idea at all.

I rarely say this, but Space Station has a good idea. the Big Brother/Big Sister program is a great way to help young kids while they are still impressionable.

OCEAN Inc., is ocean county's low and medium-low income assistance group. they handle money from the government for such things as Headstart and energy assistance. they own several houses, too, for low income peoples. they are a worthwhile organization and i am sure if you contact them they can find a project for you. it's much nicer than a road - which will require continued participation. they'll give you the details and it will be up to you to figure out how to come up with a viable solution, so it's more than just blindly following the leader-type stuff. it will actually challenge you, and you will most likely come into contact with the people you will be helping, so you get that warm fuzzy.

ted gooding was the director last i knew. you can tell him i sent you, jim price, as i was on the board of trustees as board secretary a few years ago. our mission at that time was to find a new director, and we made an excellent choice with ted. as soon as he was in the groove, i left the board since our mission was complete. sure, i could have kept on with it, but it would have been mundane stuff. at that time, the organization was on their way to losing control of the funds they receive from the government and it was being vilified in the newspaper by an over-zealous reporter. as soon as we got ted on board, she shut up since there was no longer a story there... people don't want to read about good things, you know. ;)
