* What part of the Main Street Philanthropy experience do you think you’ll remember most? Do you think you’re more likely to give of your time and resources in the future?

How did i feel? I felt like i was actaully help out a cause. Like i was actualy there helping them with operstions, but not actually. What sticks out is when we arrived, Chris and his assistant was out there in the cold, patiently waiting for our arrival.

The only thing i will remember is that the day we made our team. From there we actually connected with other people in our class that we normally dont talk to. It was a chnage or the first time in a while that i wasnt ready for.

On the day that we come back, we were assigned to find a stock to invest in. I mean, ok sure but y tho. I mean ok, but y tho. Its good to at least have an idea how to invest in stocks, but

y tho

But in all seriousness, the blog post pertains to the recent activites from class. All in all, ive found how to properlly share stocks and choose he right stocks for one another.

Our fundraiser is also goig swell, there has been alot of progress from the monday of returing from vacation. We all have collected and are saving the moneyfor the fundraiser to send to Raptor Trust on the 17th.

Why is it important to look at the numbers before making an investment? What did you learn about your organizations when you looked at their tax returns?
What did you experience when you made your research calls to your charities?

Its important to look at the numbers to see if the charity is using their money the right way. We saw that Raptor Trust is actually using their money proficiently and with care, they spend well under 10% of their donations for events. We heard and saw that these charities are so anxious to talk to young adults about their actions and other actions that they take part.

From the brown paper bag, to the selection of the MAD cards, to the creation of our team name. Its been a ride. It is separate from the rest of the school schedule that I do have from day today. Its a break from all of the same stuff everyday.

Yale Levy is an interesting chap. Hes different that most of the teachers. Just from the first day that he was here, he has been insightful and enlightening.
