As you may have seen from the "2003 ADPi Officers" thread, I am the new Philanthropy chair for my chapter. This will be my position for my senior year.
In recent years, our chapter's participation in philanthropy events has been sort of low, and I am anxious to change that. I have told my sisters that my logo for 2003 will be "Kicking philanthropy's @ss back into shape."
The only thing is, that because it has been so low, I don't have many positives examples to go by. Does anyone have any suggestions on philanthropy events?
I have heard from our previous philanthropy chair, that our local Ron's House isn't too warm to welcome our volunteer work. The reason why, supposidly, is because we don't officer as much financial help as other organizations do, such as GM, Ford, or Chrysler (I'm in the Motor City here). Of course our chapter can't compete financially with the Big 3, so again, I am lost as to what we can do. As I said, I will be in my senior year, and I have NEVER even been to our Ron's House.
If anyone can offer me any ideas, it will be a HUGE help! I don't want to disappoint my sisters, but at the moment, I have no idea what to do!
