Community Impact Update

Greetings,

My name is Pam. I am the 09-10 Vice President of Community Impact, and I am very excited to get this school year started and our projects into gear. I began my SIFE career with the First Steps project 3 years ago, the first year we implemented First Steps. It was a busy time trying to get everything to work together just right to make that first year a success.

So far this summer my project managers are getting materials gathered, great team members recruited and scouting some new ventures. We are looking to possibly expand First Steps to go into more schools in the Anderson area.

With Second Chance, we are just looking to gather more information together to make the people involved even more marketable in today's economy. We are currently not working towards expanding this project, but that doesn't mean we can't or won't, we just want to gather materials to give a stronger presentation and have the ability to effectively expand.

Unfortunately, Community Impact has had a little set back this summer. My project manager for the Barter Game and CYNCY projects stepped down, feeling he would not be able to give 100 percent to the projects or SIFE. This year we are wanting to combine all aspects of CYNCY and the Barter Game to help make both more effective in the community. If anyone is interested in being involved as a project manager in SIFE, feel free to contact myself or any of our other great SIFE officers.

For now, I hope everybody enjoys the last few weeks of summer before we get back into the swing of classes, homework, and different activities.
