Make A Difference Day
Make a Difference Day 2009, made easy
Monday, October 19 6:27 p.m.
BY SCOTT HEWITTCOLUMBIAN STAFF WRITER
We enjoy pointing out that Make a Difference Day, the nation's largest annual community service event, was started by the print media.It was USA Weekend, a magazine-style publication carried by many newspapers, including The Columbian, that launched the annual day of volunteerism in 1992. In the years since, millions of Americans have signed up and shown up to do something positive for their communities on the fourth Saturday in October.Given the sluggish economy and the growing number of our neighbors in need, organizers want this to be the biggest year ever for Make a Difference Day all over the country and right here at home.Make a Difference Day is Saturday, Oct. 24. Volunteer Connections, a program of the local Human Services Council that works all year to match volunteers with calls for help, is hoping to get at least 1,000 folks to participate. Everyone is welcome, from individuals and families to churches, clubs and groups of all sorts. There's no lack of projects and partners:• Plant 10,000 trees and bushes in Arnold Park (along Burnt Bridge Creek), west of St. Johns Road. Sponsored by the Vancouver Watersheds Council.• Clean up weeds and trash from alleyways in the Rose Village neighborhood. Sponsored by Americans Building Community.• Mow yards, do lawn work and clean up homes for senior citizens who can't do the labor. Sponsored by Catholic Community Services.• Harvest carrots to be distributed to hungry people. Sponsored by the Clark County Food Bank.• Plant trees in the Salmon Creek watershed. Sponsored by the Clark County Stream Team.• Donate canned and nonperishable food and toiletries for the needy. Sponsored by Disability Resources of Southwest Washington.Activities will begin at various locations at 8:45 or 9 a.m., rain or shine, and end between noon and 1 p.m. After service projects are completed, volunteers will come back together for a celebratory barbecue at Arnold Park.To get involved, call Volunteer Connections at 360-735-3683 or e-mail volunteerconnections@hsc-wa.org. You can also check into individual events online at ccblenderhead.com/makeadifference.Clark College
