Vonnie's Service Learning Reflections

This summer I will be venturing into an area that involves both my capstone project and people in the little community where I live.  I will be assisting with the first annual “Doggie Dash!”  The Doggie Dash will be a 5k run/ 1 mile Fun Run-Walk which is a fundraiser for the Northeast Montana Pet Rescue to be held July 19^th. 

 

5/16/14:  Called Dr. McAllister to discuss when I could meet with her again related to the registration forms I had put together, what she was wanting for the race, if I could help obtain sponsors, etc.  I was told she just returned from being out of town and her schedule is full, possibly next week.

5/26/14:  Met with Dr. McAllister to finalize entrance forms, liability forms, etc., for the “Doggie Dash.”  Forms taken to the local paper for inclusion for advertising the event.  Contacted the local EMS coordinator to see if they would be willing to be present during the race on July 19.  I called the hospital and talked to Clay Berger, EMS coordinator.  Mr. Berger was very gracious and promptly agreed to have an ambulance at the race as needed.  We are to call him 2 days in advance to remind him of the event. 

I will post again as the event gets closer, and/or the work continues!
