Charity Bandanas

2007-11-21T17:42:00.000-08:00

The following is from Benjamin Nieuwsma. Please take a second to read!

We are raising money for the Community Action Partnership in Moscow . The charity works to reach out to poor people in our area in a number of ways. The partnership provides food for people unable to afford it, clothing and health related expenses. Often the elderly on fixed incomes are unable to afford their heating bill during the winter and this partnership helps with that as well. They also help pay for educational expenses.

Unlike many other charities, the Community Action Partnership works towards self-sufficiency as much as it can, so for many of the underprivileged families, they help by providing work for them.

I am the project manager of a team of about a dozen students who chose this charity to raise money for as class project and we have come up with a couple different incentives for giving money to the partnership:

Donate 1 Dollar

For anyone donating a dollar to help the underprivileged in our area, we will enter them into a drawing for one of three $50 gift certificates for the online sporting good stores:

www.buysnow.com

www.buywake.com

www.buyskate.com

Donate 4 Dollars

For anyone who donates $4 (essentially the price of a nice coffee), we will give them a free bandana. They are black with a golden U of I logo design on them.

This charity is tax deductible and upon request we can provide you with verification of your donation. Unfortunately, due to some supplier problems on the bandanas, we are running out of time for this project. We need to know about everyone who is willing to donate by next Monday, November 26.

So, if you would be willing to donate a few dollars, it would be a great blessing to the charity, and a huge help to me and my team.

Please send me an email. (BenjaminN@vandals.uidaho.edu) or feel free to call (208-310-1841)

Thanks!

Benjamin Nieuwsma

One thing Ben mentioned to me is that you don't have to pay him right away. So if you are away on break, just send him an email letting him know that you will be getting him the money whenever you get back.

Thanks!

O Socii, today is a great and honourable day. It is a day in which we can put to use our right as citizens of the Unitest States of America to elect our leaders. In days past leaders were often chosen through strength of arms. Men proved their courage on the battle field, fighting for their king, that they might live peaceful lives under their king. We have no bloody battle field on which to pour our blood and prove our valor, but we do have the Moscow Fair Grounds, and today, until 8 p.m. May it not be said of the students of New Saint Andrews college that they did not bother to go out and vote. Furthermore, this is going to be a close vote - 50 could turn the tide of the election. You may feel like it's not your place to vote in Moscow, but it does affect you. It affects NSA, it affects the families you're boarding with, and it affects our churches. If you've lived here for more than 30 days, you can vote! Please vote!

Please vote for Krauss and Carscallen for the 4 year seat (do not vote for a 3rd person) and Steed for the two year seat.

To the Polls!

Homo proponit, sed Deus disponit. O Socii, Proponite!

Christ is risen!

2007-04-08T20:25:00.000-07:00

Happy Easter, everyone!

What joy is ours, since we are Christians and have a God who would have His Son endure the pangs of death and the sin of the entire world, and then rise that we might rise with Him!

Many people talk (and have written) about how we ought not to put our joy in man or in material things. This is easy to see why, and yet we forget it often, and either trust and rely upon people or things we love to make us happy and joyful. But we would not have either without God! Our joy comes from Him and Him alone. Because Christ endured the cross and Sheol, we need not fear ever losing our joy. In Him we have risen and shall be resurrected!

My Life For Yours: Bleed!

I hope y'all remembered to go give blood, if you are healthy. If you haven't done it yet and you are physically able to, take a break from school (or partying) and get on over to Tyndale Library to give blood. The bus will be out there till 5 p.m.

Yes, I gave blood today, barely. The nurse who helped me said my blood was starting and stopping, I think I didn't drink enough fluids. I was afraid there was some major problem, or that they would reject me and throw away my blood, but the nurses seemed fine with it going slow. "We're just happy to have the blood!

It didn't really hurt, and if it does I think about all the sick people who don't have a choice, who have needles and IV's stuck in them day after day after day. At least we have a choice to give willingly of our clean blood. And you can't help but feel good about that.

My food for yours?

2006-10-13T00:42:00.001-07:00

Dear friends,
We're all students who like to hang out at different places downtown, which is great. It's a wonderful thing that you can run into so many other NSA students in Moscow's coffee shops, stores, and restaurants. But having done a little restaurant work over the years, I've thought up a couple 'good manners' items which might be good to keep in mind.
1) If you go to a restaurant or coffee shop, you're not invited to bring in your own food or drink. The people who work there have prepared food for you to purchase, and it's rather rude to enjoy the atmosphere but bring along your own private menu.
2) Any time you use a building like a coffee shop for studying, hanging out in, etc, it's a good idea to make some sort of purchase. It costs money to keep the business running, and if you benefit from the place, you should contribute. But also if you don't contribute, you're still using up a table which actual paying customers might want to fill when it's busy. And so not only are you not patronizing the business, you may be keeping potential customers from patronizing the business as well (particularly if you're a group of non-payers).
Of course there are always qualifications. The Nuart Theater is one - they just want students there whether or not you buy coffee. And if you go to Bucer's for the second or third time that day, and you already had a panini or a smoothie, this isn't as big a deal. Or suppose you swing through One World Caffe for two minutes to talk with a friend who's already there; you don't have to feel guilty for not buying something. But if you're there much more than a quarter or half an hour, you probably should.

In Christ,
Luke N.
