Social & Community Service Events

• Happy Hour get togethers
• Pub Crawls (is there a place in town that sells Wisconsin beers?!)

• Plan ahead, contact bars to see if they will have drink specials or if they are willing to offer your group a special.
• Sell wrist bands, members get a discount of course!
• Proceeds from wrist bands can go to your scholarship fund, or another program.
• If there is alcohol served at an event, encourage responsible drinking, please refer to Business & Legal Issues for WAA's Alcohol Policy.

Alums are interested in more than game watches and networking, offer them something more worthwhile. Provide them with opportunities to help others in your chapter area.

Keep in mind that food pantries need food all year round. Consider running multiple food drives during the year.

• Sign-up as a group for a local walk or charity run
• Habitat for Humanity
• Big Brothers Big Sisters
• Hold a community clean-up day
• Work with another local non-profit
• Find other opportunities online, Volunteer Match is a great resouce.

The Boston Area chapter participates in a program called Community Servings. This program is dedicated to providing free home-delivered meals throughout eastern Massachusetts to people homebound with HIV/AIDS and other acute life-threatening illnesses, who are unable to shop or cook for themselves. The chapter provides their clients, their dependent families, and caregivers appealing, nutritious meals, and reaches out to those in greatest need. The goals of Community Servings are to help clients maintain their health and dignity, provide nutritionally and culturally appropriate meals, preserve the integrity of their family, and send the message that someone cares.

The chapter volunteers at Community Serving every third Thursday.

Your chapter can also do great things in your community, there opportunities are out there!
