Volunteer With Campus Kitchen This Summer

Campus Kitchen is looking for volunteers to help with cooking classes, delivery shifts, youth cooking/gardening classes, and site monitoring.

COOKING CLASSES
To create the meals we serve Mon-Fri, we will prepare the meals Sun-Thurs evenings, 7-9 pm in the Christensen Center kitchen.
- Each evening Augsburg students will lead a class cooking a different meal (menus will be available online soon)
- Meals will be simple, affordable, use vegetables that are in season, healthy, and if all goes right, delicious
- All the participants will enjoy the meal at the end and can take 1-2 meals home with them along with the recipe

DELIVERY SHIFTS
Thursdays 11-1 pm - Peace House homeless shelter (free lunch)
Thursdays 2-3 pm - Prepare senior meals
Thursdays 3-6 pm - Deliver senior meals door to door
Fridays (1st and 3rd) 5:30-7:30 pm - Banquet at Ebenezer apartment (free dinner)
Sundays (some) 6-9 pm - Secure Waiting homeless shelter

EDUCATION CLASSES
We will be teaching kids cooking and gardening at the Brian Coyle Community Center Mon-Thu 12-4 pm, and we are looking for consistent volunteers (can be created as an education internship) to assist with those. Those helping will enjoy a lunch and snack with the kids.

SITE MONITORING
We are setting up a system for monitoring the eight sites we serve at (we are receiving federal funds that require intense reporting). We are looking for 1-2 students who will be briefly trained as monitors, and can visit these sites to ensure correct reporting, and always enjoy a meal onsite.


To sign up for cooking classes and delivery shifts, go to our calendar at www.tinyurl.com/ckpcalendar.
To learn more and sign up for other shifts, contact us at campuskitchen@augsburg.edu. You can also add us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/augsburgcampuskitchen.

Keeping Track of Auggies

Andrea Dvorak Presents at NAFSA Conference

Andrea Dvorak, Coordinator of Short-term Faculty-led Programs in Augsburg Abroad, recently presented at the 2011 NAFSA Conference on International Education in Vancouver.

Session Description:

Education abroad and campus environmental sustainability are connected and can enhance one another. The session provided a framework for administrators, students, and faculty to incorporate sustainability into international experiences-from program development and marketing to student preparation and expectations management.

Kudos to Andrea for providing leadership in study abroad and on campus around issues of sustainability!!

Twins Tickets

I have two tickets for Friday (7:10) and Sat (6:10) against the Padres. The tickets are in the home run plate view, 3rd base side. Look down on home plate; look up and see the skyline. They are fantastic seats. They are handicap accessible, section 219. The face value of the tickets is 28. This is the price for the seats above(319) but because handicapped seating you get to sit lower. Great deal! If you want to go but don't have anyone to join you, I am free but don't have anyone to go with either. So I will sell one ticket but you'll have to sit with me :) If interested contact me at robinson@augsburg.edu.
