Easter Egg Hunt/ Sheltering Arms
Members set up an Easter Egg Hunt for the children. We had a memebr dress up in a Bunny costume and they all got to take pictures with the Easter Bunny. We also made bunny shaped cakes and went around and visited the classrooms to give the cake and play with them.

Project Open Hand
We visited POH, which is an organization that prepares meals for homebound AIDS patients. We cooked and packed the meals and offered assistance in the administrative office.

Benefit Car Wash
We had a car wash in which we charged a flat rate per car. When the money was collected at the end of the project, 25% of the profits went to a non-profit agency. This past year the percentage went to the American Red Cross.

Front Porch of Atlanta
We prepared an entire meal and brought it to the meeting facility of Front Porch of Atlanta. This agency provides family counseling for parent and children who have lost immediate family members.

October 2000/2001
Hands On Atlanta Day
Members gathered in the East Lake Community along with Trees Atlanta to plant trees and plants. The location looked 100% better when finished.
Members gathered at Cross Keys High School and prepared for a long day in restoring a courtyard that was damaged months before in bad weather. Working with a volunteer landscaper, we helped in the beginning stages of making a Celtic bird garden. We hauled 100 of pounds of wood chips and formed the mulch into circular pathways. We then planted young trees, which one is know as "Civi", and cemented benches into the ground.

Members gathered in a social setting at an officer's house in Halloween costumes. All who attended paid money that was donated to Campus Civitan of GSU and also brought can food items that were donated to the Atlanta Community Food Bank.
