Weekend of Fun At NAWD-National Association of Workshop Directors


This weekend I had the joy and honor of attending and presenting at my 2nd annual NAWD conference (see workshop photo above- “Quick Leadership Activities”). There were so many great ideas and wonderful advisors in attendance.

One of my favorite ideas was from Stephanie Brake from Missouri. The community service project is called, “Make A Wish” Believe Campaign. I wanted to share it with everyone during this holiday season, so you too can help out and have your students write letters.

Children can help grant wishes by writing letters telling why they believe in Santa Claus. Bring the letters to a Macy’s BELIEVE Station and Macy’s will donate $1 for every letter received to the Make A Wish Foundation. Imagine if you had 1,000 students or more write letters during the day…what a great and easy way to help out! Check out this site, http://www.wish.org/help/macy_s_believe for more information.

I look forward to hearing how this project goes for you! Happy Holidays!
