Earn strong exposure for your photography while helping raise money for Shorecrest. The Booster Club is looking for a responsible, skilled photographer to take pix of student activities, clubs and sports supported by our fundraising efforts. Your work will appear at www.ShorecrestBoosters.org. Photos drive traffic to the site -- and visits generate support for fundraising. Some events begin in early September, so summer-start approval is needed. An event photographer would be a preferred mentor. Two Booster Club members are available to support your scheduling, assignments and organization.

Help Lake Forest Park residents get easy-to-read house numbers in front of their homes so police, fire, and other emergency personnel can find the house. Create a brochure on how to make house numbers and house number holders, or provide materials so homeowners can make their own easy-to-read numbers. The LFP Community Services Commission is willing to work with a senior.

Work with the City of Lake Forest Park to build a Rain Garden on your parents’ or citizen volunteer’s property. The City would provide specifications and instructions on how to construct the Rain Garden and might use the project as an example of Low Impact Development techniques. Students can create a brochure and apply for a mini-grant for their construction.

Plan a “Pennies for Peace” campaign to promote community-based education and literacy programs, especially for girls, in remote mountain regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Support the efforts of Greg Mortenson, co-author of Three Cups of Tea. Many say that his efforts to build schools and education poor, isolated communities have done more to combat terrorism than most military campaigns.
