Project 33 Cadets

>> Friday, February 26, 2010

Project 33 is putting together groups similar to scouting for the volunteers and their kids called Project 33 Cadets! They will be known as Pixies (girls) and Platoon 33 (boys). It is the goal of the groups to foster family bonding, leadership, teamwork, friendship, charity, and fun in our kids. Each year the kids will work on nine themes, which are Self, Family, Community, Charity, Science, The Arts, Animals, Nature, and World Culture. Each year we will be earning something new. For example, our first year the Pixies will be earning charms for a charm bracelet, with each charm representing one of our nine themes. We will be doing tours, having speakers, and taking trips! Each month’s theme will include one meeting (at Nancy Gomes) and one trip, tour, or outing. We will have a yearly campout, family skate night, and other fun special events! We will also be making this a parent-child group (or another adult family member) where the kids will do things as a team with their adult family member. It will be required to have an adult family member with the kids at all times for liability reasons. Those with more than one child in the program may have one parent to two children, for example.   We are looking for someone to lead the boys' group, so let us know if you are interested!

If you are interested in joining the Project 33 Cadets, please e-mail us at project33@studio33graphics.com.   Also, we have a blog for Pixies up with more info at http://project33pixies.blogspot.com/.  We need to have a list of kids participating by mid-March.   Hope you can be a part of this!

Rummage Sale


Store Safe Storage on N. Virginia, has donated a huge storage unit to Project 33 for us to store our Rummage Sale "stuff" for this years first rummage sale. Proceeds from this Rummage Sale will be divided, with 70% going to the American Cancer Society via our Relay for Life Team and  the other 30% to the Kids Clothing Closet. If you have any "stuff" you'd like to donate, you can call 775-848-1016 where a volunteer from Project 33 is always available to pick up donations at your convenience. The Rummage Sale isn't until May 15th, so you have plenty of time to clean out those garages and closets.


Thanks to Store Safe for their generous donation.  You can find out more about their storage units at their website:  http://www.storesafecalifornia.com/Self-Storage/Reno.aspx

Organization Day!

>> Wednesday, February 17, 2010

A very dedicated group of volunteers came to the Kersch garage to go through and sort the many generous donations of kids' clothing.  First we divided the clothing on two tables by boy or girl:


Next we divided the clothing into piles based on size and put these into donated bins:


Afterwards we stacked all the bins in the garage, which are now ready to be sorted by season and passed out to the children who greatly need them.


Thanks to all the wonderful volunteers who are really making Project 33 a success!

Project 33's Kids Clothing Closet

>> Thursday, February 11, 2010


We are very excited to have our blog up and running!  Here we will post upcoming Project 33 events, news, and share our completed projects and pictures.

A huge project we are working on is a Kids Clothing Closet.  We are collecting gently used or new clothing, sizes 0 months to 12 years. Our plan is to collect as much as we can and then give them away for free to homeless children. We will be a mobile distribution (similar to the mobile pantry from the Food Bank) and will deliver clothing 4-6 times a year. Especially at seasons' change and the beginning of school years.

For more information on how to donate or where/when distribution will take place, please contact us at 775-848-1016 or e-mail to project33@studio33graphics.com
