The UCF chapter of AFP is hosting a case study with Miracle of Love, Inc. on

Friday, March 25, 2011

9AM- 11AM.

@ 741 W. Colonial Drive

Orlando, FL 32804


The goal of this case study is to create the infrastructure for an annual campaign!


MIracle of Love is an HIV/AIDS service organization that has been in the Central Florida community since 1991. The agency has grown rapidly thanks to a successful grant writing team, but is in need of unrestricted funds to keep the agency afloat. (Feel free to read the attached fact sheet.)

AFP has partnered with Miracle of Love for our first case study/community service event this year. This will be a great opportunity to learn about diversity within the nonprofit sector and help a lot of people who are infected or affected by HIV continue to receive services.

You do not have to be a member of AFP to attend. Please email (adam.green@knights.ucf.edu) if you have any questions.

Relay For Life

Hello everyone,

We were wondering if there are any cancer survivors on our team that would be interested in walking and being celebrated at Relay on April 1st? Or if anyone knows a survivor who would be interested. There will be a special ceremony held at Relau and we will provide more details as soon as we know more. Please email us at ahsa.ucf@gmail.com if you or anyone you know is a survivor and Becky or Christina will further assist you.

Thanks!

JOB OPPORTUNITIES!

Americorps VISTA are currently hiring paid positions that I encourage the NPMA members to apply for. These position are unique in that it is part of a presidential initiative with a pilot program in Central Florida. Therefore, it would be a tremendous opportunity to gain valuable experience connecting assets within the community to benefit students in local public schools. The positions are based out the United Way office and there will be 4 more positions that will be opening up in the near future. The interview process is taking place rather soon, so make sure if you are interested to apply ASAP.

I have attached both a job description and the ad for the position. Please note any applicants interested in applying for this position will need to forward their resumes to the email provided in the attached ad.

We want to say thank you Maria Rosa, who is currently interning at The Heart of Florida United Way for bringing this to our attention!

If you have any questions, plese email the association at ahsa.ucf@gmail.com and I will pass along the message to Maria.

Volunteer Opportunity at Give Kids the World

Hi everyone!

The Student Association will be volunteering as a group at Give Kids the World!  If you are interested, please email Christina at cea@knights.ucf.edu. We will need to attend an orientation prior to the actual volunteer event, so please email her so she can set that up for us.  Below is a description of the organization.  Happy Volunteering!
________________________________________________________________________________________________

The story of Give Kids The World begins with a little girl with a wish and the desire of one man to make that wish come true.

The little girl's name was Amy. Amy had leukemia and one wish - to visit the theme parks in Orlando. To facilitate Amy's wish, the request of a complimentary stay was made to a respected hotelier. As he had done many times before, the hotelier gladly obliged and Amy's wish was that much closer to being realized. Sadly, the remainder of Amy's travel plans took too long to arrange and her wish was never granted; Amy had passed away. Time simply ran out. 

This unfulfilled wish inspired a man, the hotelier, to make a vow that no child in need would ever be failed again. That man was Henri Landwirth and his desire to ensure that Amy's story would never repeat itself is where the story of Give Kids The World begins. 

Landwirth enlisted the support of colleagues in the hospitality industry, including our world-famous theme parks, to assist him in bringing these special families to Central Florida within 24 hours if need be. He called the project “Give Kids The World,” because that is just what he intended to do - provide memorable, magical, cost-free experiences to children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. 

As the program expanded and the number of families continued to grow, it was apparent that Give Kids The World would need to create a place that could better serve the special needs of our families. The gates of Give Kids The World Village opened in 1989. 

Today the Village is a 70-acre resort complete with over 140 Villa accommodations, entertainment attractions, whimsical venues, and fun specifically designed for children with special needs. 

With the help of many generous individuals, corporations and partnering wish-granting organizations, Give Kids The World has welcomed more than 100,000 families from all 50 states and over 70 countries.
