Sounds like a good idea, especially if DD#1 (9) can participate as well if possible. We haven't found much yet.

The only problem I can think of is a lot of them have limited openings.
 
I have seen a bunch that allow children and have goups of like 20. Once we get a few more responses we can look at dates and projects!!
 

Sure, I'll join... Most of the stuff available has been a distance. I don't mind traveling a bit, though, if I get to be with friends.
 
Just as an FYI, people are reporting on the Promotions board that Disney is sending out "Hey, hurry up before we reach 1 million voluntears" messages, so there is some indication that Disney may in fact end the program once they reach the million.

According to some organization documents, if you sign up for a particular opportunity before the million is reached, the voucher is held is reserve for you. It won't necessarily be 1 million vouchers issued.

Disney could in fact go beyond a million if they choose, but signing up sooner rather than later might be wise.

Ooops, they don't allow kids under age 18....
 
Jack has been researching this and found an animal shelter in Brockton where the minimum age is 6. It's stuffing envelopes, then a meet and greet with the dogs. We haven't signed up yet, but it's what we're looking into. Meredith spent Feb vacation making her own "save the Dogs" posters:goodvibes. We would love to join a meet also.

***ATTENTION*** DISNEY IS CLOSE TO REACHING ITS GOAL OF 1 MILLION TICKETS SO RESERVE YOUR VOLUNTEER SPACE TODAY!!***

What a fun, fantastic way to volunteer, simply by having hands-on fun while hand stuffin a teddy bear that will be donated to a foster child! Everybody wins with Paws-4-A-Cause!

Poochie Pals & Plaster Art Workshop will be providing cuddly stuffed teddy bears to foster children throughout Massachusetts. After you hand stuff your teddy bear, you will leave them at Poochie Pals & Plaster Art Workshop and they will then be delivered to the various DCF Offices/Visiting Rooms where supervised visits are held between foster children and their birth parents, and where children stay while awaiting foster placement. These donations of stuffed animals will help make a very scary experience very comforting.

This is not like Build-A-Bear Workshop we have NO STUFFING MACHINES - its all about hands on fun! You will be required to hand stuff ONE Teddy Bear. No sewing or glueing required, as these teddy bears have a one way zipper with velcro to seal them up. We will provide you with all the "bear necessities" to complete this fun, quick and easy project!

For this project, for example, each registered volunteer can have people in your group, family, neighborhood, community and friends DONATE one NEW "Poochie Pals & Plaster Art Teddy Bear" to you for this purpose.

On the day of the event, for the time-slot you sign up for, at least ONE NEW donated Poochie Pal must be made for EVERY registered member in your group.

You can sign up your group for one of the times and dates below. PLEASE ARRIVE ON LOCATION PROMPTLY, AT START TIME, FOR THE SLOT YOU SIGN UP FOR BECAUSE WE HAVE THE WORKSHOP BOOKED ONLY FOR A DEFINED PERIOD OF TIME.

ONLY REGISTERED VOLUNTEERS WILL BE VERIFIED FOR A FREE DISNEY TICKET. It takes between 24-72 hours for you to get your tickets sent to you via email from Disney. Its a very fast turnaround.

We will be taking photographs during the event to share on our website as well as with other organizations and media. We will not use any names in the photos.
Get Started

If you wish to volunteer for this opportunity, select the button below to register for "Give a Day. Get a Disney Day." and with POOCHIE PALS & PLASTER ART WORKSHOP, who will verify your participation in this opportunity. You will select the date you wish to volunteer as part of the sign-up process.
 
Wow, that one sounds great, and its the next town over for us!

To bad DD#2 doesn't turn 6 until October, she'd love to do this!
 
This looks awesome! Doconeill and I are liking this one! DD1 would love it too! But like he said DD2 won't be 6 until October.
 
We are in for this one too!!! I know a great place to eat after!
 
Count me in too... Maybe we have two groups with different times and time for lunch in the middle.. Who am I kiiding.. 1 hour for lunch is not enough for this group. Where are you thinking Kristin? Tracey where are you? My family is all in Lunenburg!
 
Well, since I'm married to doc, I'm in Littleton too! :)

Bornteach, what good place to eat were you thinking of?
 
What sessions is everyone thinking? I can only do the first Saturday as I am in charge of our large office move the next weekend
 
The 18th is fine for us, there is a good chance I'll be on call, but I will bring my laptop if needed. We could probably post live pics :)

If needed, we could possibly split across two sessions, and hang out and help more if needed...

FYI, both are on Sundays, not Saturdays.
