NetSAP DC’s Second Saturday of Service – A Consciousness of Service

NetSAP DC’s Second Saturday of Service – A Consciousness of Service

NetSAP DC Second Saturday of Service is designed to provide a community approach to service for its members to commit, serve, and network during service events. Members were asked to commit their second Saturday each month, a commitment to become both a more engaged citizen and a more engaged member of the NetSAP DC community. Over 60 volunteers participated in the first event at the DC Takoma Community Center, clearly showing that members were ready for the challenge to transform lives and expand their capacity to lead.

NetSAP DC Second Saturday of Service originated from President Obama’s call to action on www.serviceusa.org. President Obama is calling on all Americans to do more than just offer a single day of service to their cities, towns and neighborhoods and he is asking all of us to make an ongoing commitment to our communities.

The March Second Saturday of Service event provided volunteers from NetSAP DC and AAPI DC with the opportunity to serve and network while cleansing the DC Takoma Community Center. Cleansing activities were both in and outdoor. DC Community Centers are safe zones for children and teens and offer the chance for families to enjoy special activities and events close to home.

NetSAP DC and Professionals in the City host a monthly Speed Networking event at Gua-Rapo. The Four Minute Speed Networking for South Asian Professionals event is a fast, fun, safe and comfortable way to meet other South Asian Professionals. Speed Networking is a structured event that puts both outgoing and more reserved “networkers” on a level playing field. It is the perfect opportunity to meet interesting and fun DC single professionals in a relaxed setting.

NetSAP DC’s event was recently featured in the Washington Post. Click here to read the article and to see photos from the event: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/03/07/AR2009030701841.html?referrer=emailarticle

NetIP Dallas Gives Back to the Community

On March 14th, 2009, NetIP Dallas held its Volunteer Community Service Day at the Museum of Nature & Science in Dallas, TX.  The event was part of NetIP Dallas’s Second Saturday of Service program.

NetIP Dallas volunteers participated in the Museum’s monthly program, “Discovery Day”, assisting with activities, demonstrations, and exhibits and getting children actively engaged in the learning process. The primary goal of the day was to improve the scientific understanding of children and their families and allow them to discover how science, math, and technology are present in many seemingly unrelated aspects of their lives.

NetIP Dallas volunteers alone contributed 50 hours of service! They played an essential role, helping to inspire families to make science a part of their family discussions and pursuits.  Following the event, the chapter received a personal note of appreciation from the museum’s Director, who thanked NetIP Dallas volunteers for their dedication to the event.  To learn more about NetIP Dallas and their upcoming events, please visit www.netipdallas.org.
