Tool Drive in Denver!

[Benjamin Gillespie]

Hello all!

My name is Benjamin Gillespie and I am a senior at Metropolitan State College of Denver as well as a competitor in The Apprentice Challenge @ Metro State. If you have read David's post on this, you know that it is a competition on campus for students to compete for a full tuition scholarship next year and a paid internship. We are currently in the middle of our second project, working with a Non-Profit Organization on doing a Needs Assessment and analyzing how we can assist them in the planning for short term and long term needs.

My team, The A Team, is running a Tool Drive on the Auraria Campus in Denver, Colorado from today, Monday, until Thursday this week in order to help out our Agency. There are drop locations in the Library, the Tivoli Student Union and the Alumni Office on 9th St.

We would love to have you all come down (obviously, if you live within the area) and donate new or used tools that you have lying around and don't really use anymore. It all goes to El Centro Humanitario para Los Trabajadores (Humanitarian Center for the Workers) in downtown Denver. To get more information about them check out their website at www.centrohumanitario.org.

We will also have a booth in the middle of campus on Wednesday and Thursday from 11:00am to 6:00pm at which we will have some sponser/promoters with free product, and we will also be running a raffle, in which you can bring a tool and be registered to win a prize (rangeing from a Starbucks gift card, to Metro State gear, or even a couple of tickets to a Sports game in Denver. But you'll have to show up and register in order to find out what the tickets are for and for when.

If you live in the area and just can't make it down to the campus, feel free to respond here to me or e-mail me at bgilles3@mscd.edu, and my team and I will arrange to come pick them up from you sometime this week.

Thank you all for your consideration and care.
