I created this blog to post upcoming events for CIEE students and their families in and around Huntsville, Alabama. Pictures and descriptions of what occurred at the events will also be posted.
UPCOMING DECEMBER EVENTS:
- COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT at Christmas Charities Saturday, December 4, 8:00 a.m. -noon. We will be assembling Christmas dinner boxes which will be distributed to needy families in the area who otherwise wouldn't have a Christmas dinner. It's a great cause! Christmas Charities is located at 2840 Jordan Lane, Huntsville, AL 35816. Remember, this is a required activity for all grants students.
This project will only partially satisfy your required community service hours so if you haven't already done so you should be arranging additional volunteers hours. Grants students must have a minimum of 10 community service hours per semester and others must have at least 8. You'll need to get a CIEE Community Service form signed by a Christmas Charities representative.
The room where you will be working is not heated so you might want to dress in layers according to the weather. Since you'll be moving around on this project, that will help keep you warm too and you can step into a heated area if you need to warm up. Please wear closed-toed, comfortable shoes.
- CHRISTMAS PARTY at the home of Bill and Lori McCoy, 105 Catalpa Ct., Harvest, AL 35749 Saturday, December 11, 6:30.p.m. Each student is asked to bring a dish from his or her home country to share. Paper goods and beverages will be provided. Please bring a wrapped gender neutral gift ($10 max) if you’d like to play Dirty Santa. As a special holiday treat, Tim Zhou will play Christmas carols on his violin! RSVP to jpowers92@comcast.net ASAP with number in party and dish you plan to bring. The McCoy’s will send directions. (Call 256-325-9839 for help.)
