Another way to unconsciously save cash is to enroll
in a college savings rebate program. Modeled
after credit card rewards programs, college
savings rebate programs such as Upromise
and LittleGrad
offer parents, as well as friends and relatives,
automatic rebates of up to 50 percent (though
most rebates hover in the 1 percent to 5 percent
range) just for shopping at affiliated retailers.
Both programs are free, and all money saved
is directly deposited into a 529 college savings
plan, allowing families to save money without
even realizing it.
the family involved
Sandy Morgan, a former school teacher who
footed out-of-state tuition bills for her
post-grad son and her daughter, a current
senior at the College of Charleston, recommends
making saving a family affair. "Both
of my kids pitched in on their own, so they
never had to ask for spending money when they
were in school," she says. "My daughter
worked as a resident adviser for three years
and that also helped cut down on room and
board bills."
Encouraging students to become a part of the college
savings process is not only financially beneficial
in the short term, it also teaches students
how to live on a budget, avoid debt and be
conscious of the funds flowing in and out
of their bank accounts -- all life skills
they'll need both during and after college,
says Neale S. Godfrey, author of "Money
Doesn't Grow on Trees: A Parent's Guide to
Raising Financially Responsible Children."
"With having the kids contribute to college, you're making them understand that they should also be responsible for their future," Godfrey says. "Forty percent of these kids return home after graduating because they are unable to live in the real world on a real salary. College itself does not train them to financially live outside the nest."
Godfrey suggests making the student responsible for footing part of the tuition bill. For her children, that meant ponying up one year of tuition. But she offers several ways the student can fulfill this financial obligation.
"It seems like a whole lot of money, but students can pay for (school) with loans, scholarships, grants, AP courses that reduce the amount of courses they have to take. I worked with one family where the kids started cutting coupons and by the time they went to college, they had $1,000. That's a huge deal."
Godfrey also recommends encouraging students to take on summer jobs, to invite children to strategize on how to reduce household bills and to offer paid chores they can complete in their leisure time.
The key to making this strategy
work is to start early, letting students know
what their financial obligation will be before
they enter high school so they'll have adequate
time to prepare. "Raise them thinking
that this is something that they're going
to participate in," she says. "Make
them understand that college is a wonderful,
wonderful privilege, but it's very expensive
and that's something they need to be engaged

Grandparent asks: My granddaughter has been bullied since kindergarten. What can I do to stop this?
"My granddaughter has been bullied since she was in kindergarten. Nothing has ever been done despite repeated attempts with the school, teachers, and school board. The last incident caused my granddaughter to be physically injured. What can I do to stop this? There was suppose to be an adult surpervising after school, but none was there. We took pictures of her back, and plan once again to go to the school board. High school boys threw full cans of pop and candy at her. She just stood there and waited for her father to pick her up and got into the car crying. This has to stop, and stop now! We have contacted our local news station and CNN about this. I would appreciate any input."In Topics: Working with school administrators, Bullying and teasing

I'm having a baby! I'm so excited to announce that I am expecting again.
Our newest addition is scheduled to arrive in early August, just a week before Charlie's second birthday. Though this pregnancy came as quite a shock, I am still super excited. I have also been very surprised at how different this pregnancy has been from my last. With sweet Charlie I was sick before I even took a pregnancy test and that sickness didn't ease until somewhere around week 14. In contrast this pregnancy is flying by with much less queasiness (thank goodness)! In light of my upcoming arrival, I thought it would be fun to share with you some of my favorite pregnancy products—some from my previous pregnancy where I was terribly ill and some from this pregnancy where I am already terribly huge!
With both my previous pregnancy and my current bump I sported b-buckles early on. They are a great way to get a couple more weeks out of your pre-pregnancy clothes without having your pants constantly falling off your bottom. They come in a variety of styles and are easy to move from one pair of pants to the next.
While I was expecting Charlie I had lots of time to devote to proper nutrition. That has become much harder while chasing a one year old. I found myself making unhealthy choices quiet frequently until I recently found the awesome products from Bellybar by NutraBella. I was a bit hesitant at first, but was in desperate need of a healthy alternative to the endless bowls of sugary cereal I'd been consuming. Bellybars are super yummy, and I've actually found myself craving their Baby Needs Chocolate Boost bars. They are easy, healthy, and delicious! Also, be sure to try their tasty Citrus on Board Belly-bar Chews and Bellybar Prenatal Chewable Vitamins, both are tasty little treats!
While I was pregnant with Charlie I experienced some major skin problems. I had breakouts and patches of dry skin which made me feel really self-conscious. Thankfully I stumbled onto Belli Skincare and never looked back. I even used their products for several months after Charlie was born while my hormones were still settling down from the pregnancy. I also feel really safe knowing that Belli uses only ingredients that are highly tested and found to be safe during pregnancy.
During my first pregnancy I ate my weight in Preggie Pop Drops. These all-natural, drug-free candies actually eased my nausea like nothing else. So far I haven't found myself in need of them this pregnancy, but if I do then I am certainly going to try the new Organic Preggie Pop Drops. Here's to hoping I don't need them this time around!
Thankfully my previous pregnancy and this pregnancy line up perfectly to allow me to use my existing maternity wardrobe. I have however found that my bump has grown much more quickly this time around. While I was pregnant with Charlie, maternity clothes weren't necessary until the end of the first trimester, this time around my belly appeared well before my first prenatal visit. I've had to purchase a few pieces to help me get through this transition before I'm into my spring and summer maternity ward-robe. The Transition Kit from Belly Basics is perfect for those first few months. It in-cludes a 3/4 length sleeve top and slim pant. I also have a top from Belly Basics that I had during my previous pregnancy which has held up great to washing and wearing. A definite must for early pregnancy and right after the baby is born!

What exactly is a geode? Put simply, geodes are formed from fluids which crystallize in cavities within a rounded rock. These particular geodes were formed in Mexico.
All About Geodes:
Geodes are geological rock formations which occur in sedimentary and certain volcanic rocks. Geodes are essentially rock cavities or vugs with internal crystal formations or concentric banding. The exterior of the most common geodes is generally limestone or a related rock, while the interior contains quartz crystals and/or chalcedony deposits. Some geodes are completely filled with crystal, being solid all the way through. Geodes are formed in hollow cavities within rocks that got there from some type of explosive gas, or empty spaces in the earth left from rotted roots of trees or animal dens, or trapped gasses. Groundwater circulation precipitated into these cavities depositing minerals in the spaces, and eventually over millions of years later these structures were formulated. During that time, different minerals acted on these geodes producing various colors. The most common mineral found in these geodes is quartz and come in colors of pink (rose), clear, (crystal), and purple (amethyst), according to the Utah Geological Survey. There are a wide array of colors these geodes come in naturally. Geodes are mainly found in the following states: Utah, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri, Southern California and Iowa, among other places. In addition, geodes are also found in Namibia, Mexico and Brazil. Iowa in particular is host to the renowned Keokuk geodes, containing up to 17 different minerals. Minerals give geodes their color. Formations are found in a 35-square-mile geode bank vault, so to speak. Located around Keokuk, Iowa, the geodes are famous worldwide.

Photo Plus Coverage: How to Transition from Assistant to Photographer
During a Saturday afternoon seminar at Photo Plus Expo this past weekend four photographers—Brian Bloom, Jacqueline Di Milia, Nick Ferrari and Doron Gild—discussed what they learned while making the leap from assistant to photographer. PDN's photo editor, Amber Terranova, moderated the panel.
Tips shared with the audience by the photographers included advice on how to make contact with art buyers and set up your business.
Brian Bloom said that while he was on-set working with the photographers he assisted he would make sure to introduce himself to art directors and art buyers, who he then added to a contacts database. Bloom said, however, that he was careful not to interfere with the relationship the photographer he was assisting had with the client. Some photographers can be territorial, Bloom advised, while others are generous with introducing assistants to their clients—it's up to the assistant to assess the situation and decide whether talking with a client is acceptable.

Third-Ranked Open Retains Class Of 1987 Trophy, Moves Ivy Win Streak To 24
Head coach Lori Dauphiny knows that the best thing that will come out of Saturday morning's season-opening victories over No. 6 Ohio State and No. 13 Brown will be the improvement that comes from testing yourself against two strong programs.
Retaining the Class of 1987 Trophy in the process makes the morning even nicer.
"It's great to finally be racing again, and this particular match-up is an exciting one to open up with," senior Molly Hamrick said. "We can always expect Brown to be a fierce competitor and we knew Ohio State would be a fast addition to the annual event. It's a privilege to have the opportunity to race such great crews and we're excited to keep working hard and see how the season progresses."
The third-ranked Princeton open first varsity defeated Ohio State by more than three seconds to close a full morning of competition between three programs who hope to meet again in Indianapolis at the NCAA Championships. The Tigers claimed their sixth straight Class of 1987 Trophy over Brown by 3.8 seconds; they have now won 18 of the 27 competitions, including 10 of the last 11.
"Our plan was to focus on each aspect of the race, one step at a time," head coach Lori Dauphiny said. "There were some shaky points, but they pulled it off. It was a very tight race, and both Ohio State and Brown moved in on us, but we responded, which was nice to see. Both of those programs are very strong and it was a great race to start the season."
Each of the three squads won one of the three national championship format races. The Ohio State second varsity, which took second at the 2012 NCAA Championships, topped Princeton by just over five seconds in 6:51.4, while the Tigers finished in 6:56.5 to defeat Brown by more than 13 seconds.
"We had a good race, and Ohio State was clearly the stronger crew in the middle of the race," Dauphiny said of the 2V competition. "I thought it was a good race. It was what I expected, and they need to keep working, just like everybody else."
Brown had an impressive showing in the fours, topping 2012 NCAA V4 champion Ohio State in 7:52.9. Princeton put up a good performance against the Buckeyes, finishing in 7:58.9 to fall just a second short of Ohio State for second.
Princeton won both the third varsity (7:10.7) and B4 races (7:50.5) to open the morning competition on Lake Carnegie. It will be a while before Princeton returns; the Tigers will head to Ridgefield Park, N.J., next weekend to take on Columbia. From there, they will race two more times on the road before returning home April 27 to face Dartmouth and Penn for the Class of 1984 Plaque.
Dauphiny is optimistic that Princeton will bring a stronger squad to Lake Carnegie that day, thanks in part to the competitive races it faced today.
"We had mixed results, but I thought it was a good opener," she said. "We had close racing, which was good for experience. We are still a work in progress throughout the program, so I don't put too much emphasis on any single result."
"It was amazing to get back out there for our "last-first" race as seniors and our very first spring 2013 race as a team," said senior Gabby Cole. "As usual Brown proved to be tough and classy competitors and we're looking forward to seeing them again at the Ivy Championship for some more fierce racing.
"One of the most magical parts of the day was after the race listening to the support and encouragement from the shore," Cole added. "It really reminds us how lucky we all are to have such a loyal alliance of friends, families, coaches, and enthusiasts. Truly, it was a proud moment to be a Tiger."

Vision & Mission
The Vision of Belmont's Convocation program is to be a common and shared experience that encourages the development of well-rounded individuals. Convocation reinforces Belmont's unique statement of purpose in providing "an academically challenging education in a Christian community." The program's history dates back to the former chapel program in which students were required to attend weekly services. In order to meet the needs of our changing student population and to create a broader learning experience, Belmont created the Convocation program.
Our Mission is to:
- Encourage learning outside the classroom
- Emphasize the value of life-long learning
- Create opportunities for students to hear exciting issues presented by speakers from both on and off-campus
- Challenge students to be active in serving their community
- Contribute to community life at Belmont University
An Economy of Engagement
Belmont enjoys a uniquely engaging campus community with a wide variety of opportunities to connect socially, intellectually, and spiritually both inside and outside the classroom. The University's Convocation Program plays an important part in creating this environment. As a requirement for graduation for all fulltime undergraduate students, it creates a powerful economy that incentivizes engagement outside conventional curricular experiences. It is not intended to encompass the full quantity and variety of campus activity but is designed to emphasize and encourage co-curricular programs and events that promise particularly meaningful contributions to four specific categories of student development.
Christian Faith Development
Personal & Professional Growth
Culture & Arts
Academic Lecture
In addition, the Convocation Program recognizes and incentivizes students' individual involvement in Community Service.
Criteria for Convocation Credit
Many meaningful campus programs and events take place each semester outside of the Convocation Program. Programs are considered for Convocation credit based on the following criteria:
The quality of their leadership
Convocation program speakers or presenters must demonstrate advanced expertise and credibility in the subject to be presented.
Their pertinence and accessibility to a broad campus audience
Convocation programs must be open to the entire campus community and address topics and/or experiences of interest and applicability to a wide variety of perspective and experience.
Their institutional alignment and strategic significance
Convocation programs must be sponsored by a university organization, department, faculty or staff member. All program content and conduct must be consonant with the University's Governing Ideas and Community Commitments and must clearly address one of the specified Convocation categories.
Their contribution to learning and student development
Convocation programs must connect to and identify specific learning outcomes that are meaningful and achievable.
Students attend a predetermined number of programs in various categories. Requirements may vary based on when the student entered Belmont and transfer hours at the time of matriculation. Convocation includes a variety of experiences in the following categories:
- Academic Lecture: A program with a primary focus on the presentation of topics relating to a field of scholarly significance, current event, or prominent issue.
- Christian Faith Development: A program with a primary focus on introducing a student to the Christian faith, exploring relationships between the Christian faith and life, or offering opportunities for worship and teaching.
- Culture & Arts: A program with a primary focus on cross-cultural experiences or the visual and performing arts. Study Abroad Credit: Students may receive two hours of credit in the "Culture & Arts" category for each academic credit hour completed in a Study Abroad program, up to a total of 10 convocation credits.
- Personal & Professional Growth: A program with a primary focus on enhancing students' emotional development, personal skills, or professional competencies or opportunities.
- Community Service: Participation in an activity serving a charitable mission or cause which is 1) not required as part of an academic syllabus or academic honor society/service organization and 2) does not offer remuneration (pay, goods, services, future career advancement, etc.) to the student. Note: Community service must be done off-campus except for pre-approved on-campus service programs (blood drives, amnesty international letter writing, etc).
**Where program topic, content, or conduct is provocative or potentially divisive to the campus community, the university reserves the right to refuse the program or to require adjustments in the program in the interest of hospitality, critical engagement, and/or consonance with the university's mission & vision.
Service-Learning Credit: Due to the emphasis that Belmont places on service-learning programs, students are allowed to earn convocation credit in the community service category in addition to the class credit they receive for their participation in Belmont-sponsored service-learning opportunities.
Students gain credits by attending approved programs in the various categories. Programs can include departmental or faculty lectures, guest speakers, musical events, art exhibits, etc. The student's ID is scanned at the program and then electronically transferred into a database of individual student records that holds each student's credits. Community Service credit is obtained by completing a form that indicates the nature of the service performed and a contact such as a supervisor that may be called for verification.
Convocation is a graduation requirement and students have not graduated for failure to complete their convo. It is very important that students keep track of their credits. These credits may be checked on the student's BIC account by clicking on the "My Convocation" icon.

It's been a long time since I practiced law, but two things got my legal instincts stirring this week. They suggest strategies that might help advance the cause of mental health care.
The sheriff of Cook County, the greater Chicago, Ill. area, threatened to sue the state for turning the county jail into a "dumping ground" for people living with mental illness. Approximately 20 percent of the jail's population receives psychiatric care. Many have committed relatively minor crimes such as shoplifting or trespass.
Then, the U.S. Supreme Court announced a 5-4 decision holding that conditions in California's overcrowded prisons are so bad they violate the U.S. Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment. The state will need to release more than 30,000 inmates. Even so, California prisons will remain almost 140 percent over capacity.
The New York Times noted that the court's majority opinion went so far as to include photographs of prison conditions. But in a dissenting opinion, Justice Antonin Scalia argued that most prisoners released probably will not be those with medical conditions or mental illness, but rather "physical specimens who have developed intimidating muscles pumping iron in the prison gym."
Along with the Cook County sheriff's threat, Scalia's comment points to more fundamental issues.
Can states develop mental health care systems to keeps people with serious mental illness out of prisons in the first place?
Will prisoners with mental health problems who are released be able to find help in communities "on the outside?"
Will states at least improve conditions for those who remain imprisoned? In 2003, Human Rights Watch released Ill-Equipped: U.S. Prisons and Offenders with Mental Illness, a report NAMI called "the equivalent of a five alarm fire." Prisons are probably the worst environments for treating individuals with mental illness. Conditions can push a person "over the edge" into acute psychosis.
I haven't finished reading the court's 50 page opinion (plus dissenting opinions), so I don't know whether any of the Justices read or cited the Humans Rights Watch report. If they didn't, they should have.
Legal opinions aren't always fun to read. I once took my 10-year-old daughter to visit the law school I attended. She looked at thick volumes of case reporters on endless dusty shelves in the library. "This is the most boring place I've ever seen," she said. "No way am I ever going to be a lawyer." Part of me agrees with the sentiment. But then I remember that sometimes it's often only legal strategies that can protect human rights against the failings of legislatures and other institutions.

Today is the 32rd birthday of boxing star Manny Pacquiao so we've deemed this Friday the official "Day of Manny Pacquiao."
Pacquiao defeated Antonio Margarito to go 2-0 this year after defeating Antonio Margarito, who was 17 pounds heavier in their fight, and continued an undefeated run since 2005. Manny Pacquiao is the first boxer in history to earn 10 titles among eight different divisions. He is the first active boxer to hold a congressional seat (in the Phillipines). The Boxing Writers Association voted Manny Pacquiao boxer of the decade from 2000-2009. Most important, Pacquiao has Floyd Mayweather too shook to fight him.
Simply put, Manny is the man.
In honor of his b-day, we ask this simple question. If boxing was as popular as football, do you think Manny Pacquiao would have beat out New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees for the 2010 Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the year?
And before anyone says this is an American only honor, just know Pacquiao was in the running last year but eventually lost out to Derek Jeter.
What do you think?

euronews hi-tech – Robots reveal Titanic secrets0
www.euronews.com The wreck of the Titanic lay undisturbed for 73 years, at depths of up to 12000 feet under water. It was discovered in 1985, by a team of American and French researchers using a newly-developed ultra-sensitive sonar system, combined with advanced acoustic technology. The sinking of the Titanic has a macabre fascination for scientists and the public alike and researchers have been exploring the wreck since 1985. In 1986 a small underwater robot named Jason Junior or "JJ" produced the first images of the ship on the ocean floor. JJ was tethered to a manned submersible, nicknamed Alvin, hovering just metres away. But now with advanced communications and guidance systems, a new generation of vehicles is able to dive deeper, and remain submerged for longer. Much of this new technology was developed at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Falmouth, Massachusetts. The latest is Nereus, which can operate as an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) or a robot. Nereus can collect samples or conduct experiments using its robotic manipulator arm. It works on rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, similar to those used in cell phones and laptop computer battery. Battery life is around 20 hours and it takes six hours to recharge. Using computer battery programme systems designed for flying drones and modifying other computer battery programmes, Bowen's team helped introduce robotic guidance controls to undersea exploration. The connection for commands and information flow is a light, flexible …

Do you usually perform a daily backup of websites of small local business ? Isn't a monthly backup more appropriate ?
We do daily backups, just because there's not really a big difference between daily or weekly or monthly except a little change in the crontab and the amount of data that's lost in the case of a problem. :-)
Database dump, and then the whole directory where the site + dump resides gets rsnapshot'ed to another server. Takes a few seconds each night, doesn't cost me a dime, but I can sleep at night.
A backup that requires any manual action should be reconsidered. Automate everything, and use the available tools (rsync, etc.) and you'll be able to do daily backups without any sweat.
Your customers will like it.
The rhythm of backups depends of the rhythm of the website update : new content, updated content, scripts updates... The less resources consuming is to apply different delay to your website parts.
For example a page with a photo is added 2 times a week you can do a database, and images folder backup every 3 days. You update script plugins every month, you do a backup of your plugins directory every month.
There are tools like Website 2 Backup to do automated, encrypted and selected website files and databases backups stored on email, ftp, or on web hosting.

A Mountain Hut
On my second night in Iceland, with the July sky showing no signs of sunset at 11 p.m., I slept with a couple of 28-year-old Spanish men who had, an hour earlier, produced two bottles of earthy Rioja from their backpacks and poured the wine by candlelight. After that, conditions only improved.
I should explain. The candles took the place of electricity in the cramped mountain hut that served as my introduction to eight days of Icelandic adventure travel. (The wooden hut, located on the edge of the Eyjafjallajokull glacier, also lacked plumbing, running water, and the possibility of making tea until the hut warden melted a huge pot of glacial ice on his gas stove.) The sleeping arrangements were head-to-toe on a wooden floor, with each of us insulated in as many thermal layers as we could scrunch into our individual sleeping bags. Curled up next to me were two German women, a British couple who had teenage children back home, a middle-aged French-speaking husband and wife from Montreal, and a gnarled hickory stick of a 70-year-old doctor from North Dakota (bred of Icelandic stock) whose wife had passed on the rigors of the itinerary. With no coercion, we had united as strangers to spend our vacation time and money hiking up to 15 miles a day across rough terrain alien enough to be mistaken for a galaxy far, far away.
What's more, we put our faith — our lives, really — in the care of a spry Icelandic guide named Siggi, whose pale blue eyes glittered with benign madness. We trusted in him as he negotiated our group over glacial ridges, deciphered paths through rock and water, maneuvered the vehicle that carted us from trail to trail, and downed his morning muesli mixed with thick, sour milk. "Crazy Icelanders!" he would cackle about his countryfolk.
Arriving There
Before our international potluck group convened, I had plunked my hiking boots down in a cheery, dorm-style hotel in an old part of Reykjavik, ambled the capital's cosmopolitan streets, drunk a $10 beer at a pub packed with spiky-haired 20-year-olds, and let the mystery of sunsetless summer nights and the music of Bjork wash over me. But it was on that second night in the mountain hut that I knew I'd arrived where I really wanted to be: in the middle of a pristine, raw nowhere, making my way step-by-boot-step across treeless mountain stretches, with fellow adventurers for company.
That night, I learned to pee in the hut's Rube Goldberg-rigged unisex urinal and discovered that I could sleep even when surrounded by five champion snorers. In the days that followed, I also learned that in the middle of the journey of my life, with a cosmetics bag dedicated to Advil and knees grateful for compression bandages (and little more than two pairs of hiking pants, three long-sleeve T-shirts, six pairs of wool socks, and a fleece hoodie that doubled as a pillow), I felt as radically free, as adaptable and as bold as Neil Armstrong on the moon.
Only later would I learn that NASA once trained astronauts on Iceland's otherworldly terrain. One small step for woman.
All Trails Lead to Iceland
This woman is not one who falls into strange sleeping bags easily. I take my bath oils seriously; I'm only half joking when I say that the most effective technique with which to extract state secrets from me would be to confiscate my tweezers. But my life, and its comfort requirements, changed when I discovered the lures of guided group adventure trips some 13 years ago. With their promise of exoticism and convenience, I found an ideal way to travel — and hike, my passion. I love the notion of ending a good, hard trek with a hearty meal in a simple hotel. I like carrying a daypack while a support vehicle (to use catalog-speak) transports my duffel bag from inn to inn. But even more, I love the liberation of packing minimally and covering territory by foot maximally.

Keep Machines Up-to-Date and in Compliance
VMware vSphere® Update Manager™ automates patch management and eliminates manual tracking and patching of vSphere hosts and virtual machines. It compares the state of vSphere hosts with baselines, then updates and patches to enforce compliance.
- Gain visibility into patch status across the virtual infrastructure with a patch compliance dashboard.
- Stage and schedule patching for remote sites.
- Deploy offline patch bundles downloaded directly from vendor websites.
Reduce the Risks of Patching
It's not uncommon for patching to lead to compatibility errors that require remediation. vSphere Update Manager can eliminate the most common patching problems before they occur, ensuring that the time you save in batch processing automation won't be wasted later in performing roll-backs and dealing with one-offs.
- Store snapshots for a user-defined period so administrators can roll back the virtual machine if necessary.
- Securely patch offline virtual machines without exposing them to the network, reducing the risk of non-compliant virtual machines.
- Make sure the most current version of a patch is applied with automatic notification services.
Eliminate vSphere Downtime Related to Patching
vSphere Update Manager works in conjunction with VMware vSphere® Distributed Resource Scheduler™ (DRS) to provide non-disruptive host patching when remediating a cluster. It also works with vSphere DRS to put hosts in maintenance mode one by one and migrates live virtual machines to other hosts while patching.
- Automatically migrate virtual machines to other hosts during patching.
- Migrate virtual machines back after patching.

Donning plastic aprons and matching gloves, 12 volunteers, all staff from Catholic Charities, served 530 lunches last week to homeless, poor and working-poor Bronx residents in POTS community dining room.
"You get the feeling you're helping people and find a new appreciation for what you have," said one of the volunteers, Catholic Charities Accounts Clerk Santa Rivera.
POTS, short for Part of the Solution, provides hot, healthy meals to its "guests" seven days a week in a bright, airy space furnished with small tables that give it the feel of a neighborhood café. The nonprofit organization serves as a "one-stop shop" that provides a wide array of assistance programs under one roof. Its goal and success comes from moving its guests from crises to stability and, ultimately, to self sufficiency. In addition to the community dining room, POTS offers a food pantry, clothing program, hair cuts, health care, mail service, family club, case management services and a legal clinic.
Serving guests at the table as if it were a restaurant, Catholic Charities volunteers participated in POTS' model of upholding client dignity. When guests arrived, the volunteers delivered beverages and brought plates brimming with pasta and vegetables. Behind the scenes, volunteers sorted bread, prepped food and washed dishes with POTS staff. And after guests left, they cleared tables, swept, mopped and took out the garbage.
Meanwhile, fellow Catholic Charities volunteers stocked the POTS Food Pantry, a grocery-store style pantry that invites those in need to walk its aisles and "shop" for the produce, dairy, canned and packaged items they need to prepare balanced meals in their own homes.
Catholic Charities staff said their volunteer experience made lasting memories.
"We were able to see how great an impact our small amount of volunteering has on people's lives," said Catholic Charities Accounts Payable Coordinator Monica Parra. "And we saw how people were so grateful that we were there to help."
