Share your ideas and get involved with your IIDA Student Chapter. Run for office this Thursday, April 1.
We will be putting together hygiene kits in room 802 at 10:30 this Thursday, March 25th. Hygiene kits are sent to places in need like Haiti and Chili and they are in great demand right now. If you would like to donate supplies or cash talk with Lorri or Jenna.
UPDATE: Thank you to all of you who came and helped put together the kits yesterday. We had a great turn out and were able to raise enough money to double the amount of kits we put together! Come to the next meeting on April 1st to help put together the second batch.
The Stocking Event this year was held at The Art Institute and the donations were staggering. And so was the talent! Every year the stockings get better in my opinion.
Most of the stockings go to kids with cancer while a few are chosen to be auctioned off with the proceeds going towards groceries and other essentials for the families of those children. Our very own Ashley Stephens' gorgeous ballet stocking was selected to be auctioned and went home with a very nice AutoCAD instructor we all know and love. Congrats Ashley!!
Hope to see you next year.
Yes, the images are tiny. If you want to see the actual power point I borrowed the images from, please email me {jenna.rix@gmail.com} and I'll forward it to you.
Now is the time to start thinking of designs for a fun stocking. That way you can take a few spare moments here and there to work on it. {Where are those spare moments hiding right now?} We'll have an event to get together and work on the stockings, but it is never too early to start dreaming!
It'll be a great project to put some creative energy towards when you feel a little overwhelmed with school projects. And what better end result than a smile on a child's face? Get excited!
Elections will be coming up soon. Get involved with IIDA, as on officer, or as a member, to help shape the student chapter of IIDA at LDSBC.
A few things to think about: ways to give back to the community, educational forums, mentoring program within our ID program to help lift each other.
Our Habitat for Humanity service project turned out to be a lot of fun. Yes, it was just the 3 of us there this time so hopefully next spring more of you will come join us!
The majority of our time was spent working on getting ready for the foundation to be poured. We secured the forms, then Mike (the builder) used the surveying equipment to tell us where to put marks to guide us as we made chalk lines and hammered in nails to guide the people who will pour the cement tomorrow.
We then placed 2x4s as more supports, hammered them in, hammered in stakes, then hammered nails thru the stakes into the 2x4s to hold everything in place. We hammered a lot.
Brittany insisted on precision. The foundation will be the straightest all because of her need to have things line up. 
Kia is a fantastic hammerer. She impressed Mike like no other guy he has ever worked with. Way to go!
We had a really good time working hard and entertaining ourselves when we started to get cold.
One of the highlights of the day was meeting this man who lives in one of the homes built by Habitat for Humanity. His wife is blind and has terrible allergic reactions to many different smells and chemicals so receiving a home from Habitat literally saved her life he told us. He likes to come over and chat with Mike who has built most of the homes in this development.
Plan on coming next time, it was so much fun! Thanks for a hard days work ladies!
