Opportunities to Get Involved
Contests for Summer 2008
Win Oct 25 Rider Game Tickets
The SaskTel Pioneers have some tickets to give away for the Oct. 25 Rider game in Regina. The Riders are playing the Edmonton Eskimos and your chance to win a pair of tickets is easy. It is as simple as doing some volunteer work in your community and sending in your hours to the pioneers. The hours can be entered using the following link:
http://www.sasktelpioneers.com/get_involved/submit_hours.shtmlAny hours that have been submitted from Jan 1, 2008 until Oct 1, 2008 qualify. The more often you submit hours, the more chances you have to win. There are a total of 3 pairs of tickets that will be drawn for. The winners will be announced before Oct 10, 2008.
Of course the Riders will win, but the real winners will be the folks we help in the community.
Around the World in 60 Days
The results will be posted in November.

Diamond in the Ruff Garden
We are looking for volunteers to assist in a root garden - potatoes and carrots. It would involve helping with planting, weeding, watering and then harvesting. The veggies from the garden would then be donated to various organizations or group homes. We would like to form a partnership with these homes and get them to help withy the work as well. Possible schedule would be a meeting once a month from May until October to do the work. If we had a group of about 20 people, it would only take about an hour each month. Great opportunity for students.
