 BGS
Gives Back - Day of Service
SAVE THE DATE - October 27, 2012
This year,
October 27th should be special to you if you are a BGS member who
likes to give back. The Central Office is encouraging all members
to volunteer for a few hours in their community on behalf of Beta
Gamma Sigma’s Centennial year. We’re calling it the
BGS Gives Back Day of Service.
If you already have an idea or a project planned
for the Day of Service, thumb ups to you! If you are still brainstorming,
keep going because you are on the right track. Once you nail down
what you want to do, ask other BGS members at your college or in
your alumni network to join you. You are welcome to include your
family and friends as well. The project can be for any cause or
charity you want to support. If you need help finding a project,
we suggest you start with Points
of Light, Red Cross
Blood Drive, or Hands
On Network.
Once you’d got your group (it could be just
you, it could be 50 of you), commit to serve that day. How do you
do that? Well, we’re working with Tuttidaré , an online
log to track the hours you volunteer. We’ve got an awesome
walk-you-through-it
tutorial here. We need one BGS member to register the
project your group is doing.

Don’t remember how to log into
your account on Tuttidaré? Click
here. Don’t have time on the 27th? As long as you indicate
you are volunteering between October 15th and November 15th, your
hours are counted when you log them on Tuttidaré. Even more
interesting, Lenovo is giving away 2 tablets in a drawing for members
who log any volunteer service they have done this year on behalf
of BGS!
Don’t let this day pass by you. If you want
to start a dialogue with the Central Office about your ideas, ask
for guidance, or trouble shoot registering; Natalie Oesch (noesch@betagammasigma.org)
is at your disposal.
If you serve in some way this fall, consider making
it a part of the BGS Centennial. Let’s make October 27th a
memorable day for you, your community, and of course, BGS, too!
Celebrating though the spirit of service.
