Greetings!
My name is Melissa Eckstrom and I am in my senior year at Sterling College in Craftsbury Common, VT...some of you may know me as the woman who makes your coffee at Craftsbury farmers' market. As many in the community already know, Sterling College is an environmentally focused school that is dedicated to experiential education and service learning. With these goals in mind, we are looking to team up with organizations in our surrounding communities for a day of service on Friday, September 12th, 2014. We were hoping to have crews of about 10 students, but could possibly supply more or less based on the needs of the organizations (especially more!). With that being said, I was curious if anyone could point me in the direction of any projects that need assistance with that Sterling College could help with on the date provided above. We aim to 1) work with nonprofits (flexible to a degree), 2) locations not too far to drive to, and 3) activities that many students at all different skill levels can participate in (example, not everyone is a pro on the chainsaw.

Please note that even though I value your recommendation, I can not guarantee that I can make it happen---we don't have enough drivers or supervisors to go out and do every assignment. With that being said, I will carefully read every request and will keep you in the loop 100% as we piece together this day of community. In this case, the day is not flexible. However, if this day doesn't work, please keep us in mind for possible project suggestions for our upcoming All College Work Day, which is on October 15th!

Thank you! This is my first time posting here, so I hope I am doing this right!
