The Next Step

So I'm in the process of figuring out if and how to do Rice Bowls again this semester. Everyone else in the senior class does the majority of their work on their projects the second semester where as I have already done my whole project. But I am more than willing and would love to do it again. Before I do that there are several people that I need to talk to and things that I need to arrange to make sure things go just as smooth if not smoother than they did the first go around. I do want to hand out Rice Bowls again but I do not want to seem like I'm asking too much of Oakbrook even though what they are helping me with is an amazing cause. Once I talk to everyone that I need to talk to and get plans made then I will see where things go from there!

Back Again

So after a looonngggg break of lots of time with family, food, and snow it's time for school again. Getting back into the swing of things starting Friday (well basically Tuesday) was a little tricky but it is all working out!
I still need to take the check from all of the Rice Bowls money collected to Johnny R. because he has been out of town and our timing for me getting to run it by their office just hasn't been working out but I want to get it there as soon as possible (it is kind of nerve racking having a check for that mush sitting on your bulletin board!) But I can't wait to take the check to him and get that money to those children!
You can check out  http://www.facebook.com/ricebowls and it is the Rice Bowls Facebook page that has pictures of the orphanages and more and a couple weeks ago they gave a shout out to Oakbrook! It's a neat page! I can't wait to see where this project takes me!
