Getting Involved

Are you a member of SOAR looking for more ways to get involved other than our weekly meetings? Or maybe you've never been to SOAR and are looking for a good opportunity to get your foot in the door? Well here are a few upcoming opportunities to have fun, make an impact, and get to know other SOAR members:

"Fall In Love With the 80s" retro party
On Thursday, November 29th SOAR will be hosting a 1980s themed party in the Wallace main lounge at 8 o'clock. You don't have to dress up, but it is encouraged that you do. Activities for the night will include Guitar Hero Rocks the 80s, our own rendition of 80s themed Jeopardy, 80s fad games, and 80s music. Oh... did we forget to mention the FREE FOOD?! Oops, our bad. This party will be a great way to break the ice and meet new people, so come join us for a night of fun.

Project Linus Blanket-making Day
Tuesday, December 4th bring your yarn or fleece (or use ours if you don't have any) to help make blankets to donate to Project Linus. We'll be meeting in the Wallace first floor lounge at 6:30 and will likely be in there for several hours just chatting, snacking, and making blankets. Show up at 6:30 or anytime you want- any help is appreciated. Bring a snack or two, maybe a CD, and share in a good time with friends working together for a good cause. This is a great opportunity to talk about anything that's on your mind, make connections, and learn more about what SOAR does. Some blanketing materials will be provided but limited, so if you can please bring some along- your donation will not go unrecognized or unappreciated.

Finals Week
It might be the end of the semester, but its not the end of the year. Finals week is full of evening activities to get your mind off the books and just relax for a few hours. Keep an eye out for fliers about nights RHA, RHC, SOAR, or CAs who will be providing food and a place to chill- these are some great opportunities to blow off some steam and have a good conversation. These nightly opportunities can be anything from midnight pancakes to an evening of childhood memories and are sure to give you the energy you need to get back to work.
