•  There is a need for VITAL tutors who would be willing to work about 1 hr/week tutoring an Appleton student in the library on various subjects.
• The Emergency Shelter (Near the PAC) always needs extra help. They need people to perform secretarial duties (a few hours at a time), to clean, and to cook.
•  Opportunity for working as security at a Packer Game! Carpooling is available and you would make $8/hr that would go to the Emergency Shelter
•  People are needed to help set up the giving tree(s) at Walmart. Possibly we could start something like this on campus?

• Posters are around campus for the Saturday of Service opportunities. Keep your eyes open and we will discuss more about this next week.
