SOS Community Meeting

They happen on Friday of each week. During the project we work with our participants each week Monday through Thursday, and on Friday all of the crew leaders and participants come together at Jefferson School Auditorium for a day that is planned by us, the crew leaders. Each Friday is planned by a different unit. Yesterday happened to be Blue Unit's day, which we centered around the topic of professionalism and work ethic.

It turned out to be a pretty successful day, filled with workshops and presentations on interview tips, writing applications, and resume-building. Each member of the Blue Unit paired up to lead a workshop. I presented on resumes with a fellow blue unit member, Tana.

One of the highlights of the day, at least for us, was the fashion show, in which we showcased the good and bad examples of professional attire. Props to our models for really getting into it...


The day concluded at 4pm, after Badger 6 got together on stage to wish our Team Leader a happy badger birthday, in which we presented Drew with a birthday sandwich. That's right, a sandwich, not a cake, and it was one of the mightiest sandwiches we ever did see. Plans for a Badger 6 outing were in place, and we changed out of our uniform and into the clothes we had brought to work with us. More on that on the next entry...
