Gatherings and Parties

I dunno if any of y'all would be interested in, but I figured I'd mention it.  I am planning on putting together a volunteer work day thing here in the next couple of month (i know, i know but its just one weekend).  I am still trying to find something though.  I was hoping y'all might have some ideas.  Here are a list of things that are important:
- I'd like to work with a secular or non-religiously affiliated charity.  At least inter-faith of I can't find the first.
- Need to be able to drag a medium sized group in there one Saturday or Sunday every couple of months with little or no training to help.
-Something that makes Houston a better place.

I have been thinking about Habitat for Humanity, Houston Food Bank, The AIDS Foundation, and Workshop Houston.  Anything else?

How about fixing up a house in the third ward for a family in need? I happen to know just the family...

Houston Children Charity.

annimal shelter (specially since we all feel so strongly about burning cats) and what not or the homeless.  big brother big sister.

alcoholics anonymous, could be an eyeopener.  roadside clean up or grafiti removal

Sounds fun!!!! Also want to do a thing for Blue Santas this year if people are interested.

I've signed-up my group in the UHCL Bio Club for the Houston Food Bank. It's Mon-Sat. shifts. Saturdays are only 8 to noon, so it's perfect for most people. The only problem is everyone in the group needs to fill out a waiver and create a profile online.
