Application deadline: Friday, March 27th, 2009 at noon, application and more information available at the Greek Affairs homepage To learn more about UIFI, go to: http://www.nicindy.org/programs/UIFI/ In celebration of National Volunteer Week and Global Youth Service Day, the Volunteer Center of Story County and Iowa State University Student Activities Center invite you to join us in recognizing the volunteer efforts of young people in Story County. Nominations will be accepted until March 31, 2009. An awards program and reception will be held on Tuesday, April 28, 2009, in the Campanile Room of Iowa State University’s Memorial Union. Why is it important to recognize the volunteer service of Story County youth? Public recognition says “Thank You!” to those who have contributed in important ways to the community. It tells young people we appreciate them and encourages them to take leadership roles in Iowa in the future. Also, praise inspires imitation. Friends join with friends to volunteer, and many people can be affected by the example of one individual. In addition, these awards can help youth excel in their future educational and workplace endeavors. Many colleges look for community service in prospective students, and many businesses welcome employees who demonstrate community leadership. Please nominate an individual or group you know in Story County under the age of 25 for their outstanding volunteer service in one of the following categories: Nomination form is available at: www.vcstory.org Questions can be directed to: Shellie Orngard (Executive Director, Volunteer Center of Story County) 515-268-5323, shellie.orngard@vcstory.org or Jennifer Garrett (Coordinator of Leadership and Service, Iowa State Student Activities Center) garrett1@iastate.edu, 515-294-4354 Varieties 2009: Be the Revolution - Sweepstakes: Friday, February 27 at 6:00 & 9:00 pm, Saturdayt, February 28 at 8:00 pm - Great Hall, Memorial Union ISCORE: Iowa State Conference on Race & Ethnicity: Friday, March 6 from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm - Memorial Union Monday - Thursday, March 2 - 5 -- Greek Calling Project - Week 3 Office of Greek Affairs

Preparing a spring philanthropy with food?
Anyone planning to prepare or serve food for an Iowa State student organization event needs to attend a 60-minute "SafeFood 101" training session. Participants learn how to safely prepare and serve food at temporary food establishments (BBQs, bake sales, fundraisers, etc.) and how to comply with Iowa Food Code even as a student organization with limited resources.
