We hope you all had a fantastic holiday and are looking forward to having a MOB-tastic 2012!
We know the leadership team sure is, and what better way to kick off this year than with a visit from BaseCamp!?!?
Yesterday Kevin and Gabby came by our MOB event to run us through some team builders and chats about the new year! Get excited people, with each pod responsible for a month, this year's going to be full of some epic events, campaigns and hang outs! Make sure you stay in contact with your pod leads in the next little bit for information about your pod's month!
Finally we closed off the day with a special message from our friends in the Guelph MOB and some info about all the really cool stuff going down for the rest of the year, including National We Day and Volunteer Madness!
National We Day is an incredible conference event happening in Montreal on March 1st. If anyone is interested in coming to this event, get in touch with your pod leader ASAP!
Volunteer Madness is a MOB-wide competition with each of the 31 MOB cities responsible for collecting 15 volunteer hours per MOBilizer. This means that as the DTTO MOB, we're collectively responsible for 690 volunteer hours in Community Activity (ex-coaching, tutoring, etc), Community Necessity (ex-feeding the homeless, volunteering at a hospital, etc) and Environmental (ex-picking up trash, animal shelter, etc) by March 22nd, 2011. These hours will be collected individually, in our pods and as a MOB in order to reach our goal. We'll also have the opportunity to X another city for 48 hours once we reach a specific number of hours. During that 48 hours the X'd city will not be able to submit any volunteer hours towards their MOB goal. When you complete your hours, get in touch with your pod lead so we can record our hours and work on achieving our goal and WINNING Volunteer Madness!
Sound like exciting stuff? It is! And we're super stoked to share the next couple months with all of you!
MAD MOB LOVING FROM THE DTTO MOB LEADERSHIP TEAM!
