AmeriCorps members at UNK and in Kearney have been very busy this holiday season. There have been some changes and we are starting to re-structure priorities and responsibilities. We want to start focusing more on recruitment and presence in the community and on campus. I just recently started a Facebook group called AmeriCorps of Central NE (not sure if this will be the official name...it could change in order to encompass all that we do). Hopefully I will eventually find more members to invite to this group because its purpose should be that of a discussion / idea-sharing forum. The only time I really get to see the other members who aren't working in the Office of Service-Learning is at our once-a-month trainings and I think it'd be great if there was an open line of communication.
At the beginning of the week I had the privilege of visiting Rowe Sanctuary (where new member Charli will be working) to discuss SL Pro with Tony Doherty. I had never been to the sanctuary before and I fell in love with it instantly. I talked with Tony not only about SL Pro but also about specific volunteer opportunities available at the sanctuary. It was great to find that the sanctuary not only caters to outdoors fanatics, but to anyone with any interest---from teaching children to visual arts. Tony took Charli and I on a tour of the property and all I could think was "Why didn't I bring a camera??" So a couple days later I returned with a friend and we took as many pictures as we could before we could no longer feel our extremities (it was one of those -20 degree Farenheit days!). Of course I recommend that everyone visit...the facilities are open M-F but the nature trails are open every day from dawn til dusk---I plan to go out again on a day that is at least above zero
