Car Wash Fundraiser: This fundraiser was similar to the bake sale fundraiser. In both cases we were raising money for the rescue center in Costa Rica. We were given tickets to sell beforehand, but this wasn't a big success. When we got to the car wash, it was slow at first so all of us stood on the sidewalk holding posters and dancing to the music. Cars finally started to come in and we were beyond happy to know that this could be another successful fundraiser. ...

ABP Gauntlet: Today I finally got to bond with my ABP group and use our skills to compete against other ABP trips. The theme of this gauntlet was Superheroes and we chose to be Animal Man. We all wore blue and orange colors and even painted our faces. The first event we competed in was a memory game. We did not win this one, but it didn't get our spirits down. Immediately after this a husky walked by us and we got to sing happy birthday to him as well as give it...

People really enjoyed the mango and mint chocolate cup flavors, even after they melted! Donations for one cup of Italian ice raised ...

Secret Santa: It was a really awesome night to finally get to know all of the people I will be volunteering with and exchanging thoughtful gifts! We all have a lot more in common than I thought (food, majors, love for animals!) and I can't wait for us to bond more over the next few months! I've also never played clue before, but I really enjoyed it. My Secret Santa is the best and I can't wait to go to panera!
