ODTUG Kaleidoscope Volunteers Went Back to School

The ODTUG Kaleidoscope 2010 Community Service Day was a huge success! With over sixty participants braving the hot D.C. day, Ronald H. Brown Middle School received a much-needed make-over.

Under the guidance of Greater DC Cares (GDCC), the leading and largest nonprofit coordinator of volunteerism in the D.C. region, ODTUGgers organized piles of good reading in the library and planted, pruned, and prettied the school grounds. The ODTUG volunteers also painted a basketball court, U.S. map, fun games, and an awesome “Ron Brown Rockets” sign with a rainbow of bright colors on the blacktop. It all turned out great, and most importantly, the students at the middle school were thrilled with the results.

Previous Community Service Projects

"I was glad I participated in the service day...It was fun working with my team and the day went by quickly. For a newcomer to ODTUG, it was a good way to meet new people and get to know them a bit. It made for a few familiar faces during the conference. I would be glad to have the chance to give back and do the same kind of thing again."
"It isn’t often (if ever) that many of us take time to get involved in community service projects, but when we’re allocating time for a conference, it is relatively easy for some of us to add one day (especially a Saturday) for a volunteer project. My employer and I hope many others also support taking an extra day to support volunteerism and a good cause."
