40. Complete a sewing project

I discovered Pinterest and found a blog showing people how to make these scarfs. Since I wanted to complete a  sewing project and I LOVED these scarfs, I was clearly going to make them! :) Despite a little trouble starting to sew again after I wound up more bobbin, I think they turned out really nice.

57. Volunteer somewhere

Starting two weeks ago, I became an office volunteer at the Presbyterian Homes Corporate Offices on Wednesday afternoons. I will be working with marketing, HR, and other general office support.

81. Support a good cause

I like yogurt. This month, and I believe for the next few months, Yoplait is partnering with the Susan G Komen for the Cure and donating 10 cents for each lid they receive up to $2 million. There is currently a pile of lids on my bookshelf, and I will be sending them in shortly! 

38. Complete my internship at the MS Society

As of September 16th, I completed my internship with the National MS Society, Minnesota Chapter. During my time at the Chapter, I served as the Public Relations Intern. My duties included writing press releases, drafting media lists, completing projects for the Marketing Department, and website content management towards the end. While my internship is over, I am still volunteering at the MS Society. Currently, I am working on different web projects for the Marketing Department. After these projects wrapped up, I hope to still volunteer my time and skills to general office tasks such as mailings for the different Society events.

Today, as I was reading the Chronicle of Philanthropy, I came across an article noting that of 150 big charities, the National MS Society as a whole has been able to the most money, by a significant amount, via social media. This was an interesting fact for me to learn about since I was able to directly see how social media is used at the local chapter for fundraising purposes.
