How do you create a story? Log in to the clubrunner website and click "edit stories"
Then, click "create new story", give it a title, and add ALL photos and copy to the first print area called "story brief". To finish hit publish. Just like that, you've created content that can easily be dropped into the next newsletter like this story you just read!
Some of the kids from Refugee Tutoring have been taking swimming lessons over the summer and this event will help teach the kids in how to surf, stand up paddle board and boogie board. There will be water activities (surfing, snorkeling, SUP) and a BBQ, all volunteers are welcome to join and help supervise a small group of students. Come out and help with all of the fun festivities.
Message from the coordinator of the event at Out of the Boat Swim:
We anticipate 40 elementary age kids and 20-25 middle school age kiddos so any assistance your group could provide would be awesome! We divide the kids into groups and have them rotate through the activities. We will pair off kids with volunteers for the day so the more volunteers the better!! Volunteers don't necessarily need to know to instruct the water activities- there will be life guards at the stations working with the kids. The event takes place at mission bay.
For more information please contact Naomi@outoftheboatswim.org.

You may remember that Hands of Peace received a district grant the last two years supported by several local clubs including ours. Hands of Peace has just begun it's 15th year of work with Israeli and Palestinian teens with 96 participants here and in Chicago.
