The VIP committee held planning meetings in July and August to prepare new committee members with all the information needed to work with our community partners for the League year. In August, committee members met with their community partner liaisons to plan events for the 2013-2014 year. September marked the true "kick off" of the VIP year with our first volunteer events. The League's first effort to support the our partners was by collecting $170 in gift cards to purchase school supplies for Raphael House shelter residents. Through this contribution to Raphael House, a number of their shelter children will be able to go back to school with sufficient supplies. VIP's first volunteer event of the year took place at Children's Book Bank on September 9th where League members spruced enough books to provide clean books to 1/2 a classroom of children. The second volunteer event of the year took place at Peninsula Children's Learning Center on September 15th. Volunteers assisted children and their families in craft activities and games at PCLC's 42nd birthday party! It is an important day at PCLC where teachers and families come together to celebrate. VIP has a number of volunteer events planned for the coming months, including more book cleanings at Children's Book Bank, support for CRN's Iron Chef fundraising event, and PCLC's Fall Festival.
