Initiative Out Reach ­ Feed the Hungry BBQ on December 15th

Out Reach – Feed the Hungry BBQ on December 15th, from 4-5pm

TI Tucson Initiatives will be sponsoring an Out Reach event this Dec 15th, we need your help to make this a successful event. 

Hi everyone. I look forward to a great Christmas Season don't you? Why not start it off with booking a day (only a few hours actually) to help others, that always makes one feel good and guess what? It won't cost you a dime! 

The few of us that spent this past Thanksgiving feeding the hungry proved to be quite a fulfilling and rewarding event. We have another opportunity to reach out again to the needy during this Christmas Season. We have a lot of extra food items from our past events here at TI,  we would like to donate those items to those that are hungry and on the streets of our Community. We will again work in conjunction with the Giving Tree as this is an organized, reoccurring event for them.

Basically we will be setting up our BBQ grill and grilling up hamburgers, hotdogs and chicken. We will also provide the buns and condiments. Below is a list of activities that are available,  let me know which activity you would like to do!

Preparing the "Fixins" Cutting the tomatoes, lettuce and onions

Setting up grill

Helping put the grill on and off the truck

Setting up tables at the "Giving Tree Feeding Lot"

Clean up and taking down the tables

Serving the food

If you can't come, send along a casserole, dessert or other food item

When: Thursday, Dec. 15th 2011

Where: The "Feeding Lot"

4431 East 22nd St. between the Family Dollar and Palm Court Apartments, E of Columbus

Time: 4 –5pm

Works

So with all of our latest discussions regarding good works I have an opportunity for each of you. This Thanksgiving a small group of Tiers are going to give up their normal dinner preparation time and serve the less fortunate at the feeding area with the Giving Tree. All of you are welcome to come, but if you can't you can still help out by providing a dessert to send over to go on the desert table. I will collect all dessert items on Wednesday and will take them down there on Thanksgiving. Its a really small request that each of us can do and it will go directly to the less fortunate (I promise not to eat the desserts myself, maybe). We need to gather enough desserts for 250 people. You will see another all employee e-mail go out but this is a special request to you guys, the givers, the doers of good works!

Thanks for your help!

Subject: Recording Available for Mormon-Evangelical Dialog

We have received multiple requests for a link to the recording of the Mormon-Evangelical Dialog that was held last Thursday at TI. The recording is now available at the following link: http://ti.webex.com/webex/playback.php?FileName=http://dles292.itg.ti.com/webex/2011-10-27_CVI/2011-10-27_CVI.wrf.

 

Although we have received a lot of verbal feedback, we would also appreciate your written inputs. If you attended the session last week or if you listen to the recording, please take the time to send your responses to the below three questions to cdalley@ti.com.

 

1.      What did you like about the dialog?

2.      What did you not like / what did you think could be improved?

3.      If you're not already on the Christian Values Initiative mailing list, would you like to be added to the mailing list?

 

If you were not able to pick up the handout, "Some Guiding Principles for Constructive Conversation," these principles have been included in the attached Word document. And, finally, if you are interested in the book that Mormon scholar Dr. Millet and Evangelical pastor Rev. Johnson co-authored, it is available at http://standingtogether.org/resources.html.

 

Best regards,

CVI Leadership Team

A festival of carols

Please let me know if you would like to attend, I can either collect the money and get all the tickets or you can purchase them on your own. This is a really nice event and great for family and friends. These go pretty fast so let me know.

Ok, we have time to plan on this one. I would like to suggest a CVI outing on Saturday Dec 10th at 5pm. at Christ Community Church, 7801 E. Kenyon Dr., Tucson, AZ 85710:

A FESTIVAL OF CAROLS Presents:

SEARCHING FOR THE KING

December 9, 10 and 11 

Tickets: $6 for adults, $3 for children 10 and under

Friday, December 9 at 7:00p.m./Saturday, December 10 at 5:00p.m./Sunday, December 11 at 5:00p.m.

 Searching for the King is the story of two journeys separated by two millennia, yet the questions faced by our travelers are universal in time and scope.  For both, the way is difficult and filled with many unknowns.  Each journey leads them on the ultimate search...the search for the King.

Please indicate in the comment section your preference of seating and we will get you the best possible seats according to your selection
