On March 8,2005, I had the chance to attend the EIDASC Spring workshop in Ramsey, Illinois, with
the theme of "Stu. Co. On The Go!". 92 students and 10 advisers were present for this event,
and it lasted from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
I was excited
to meet a lot of new people that night, and it proved to be a very fun experience. There were many discussion groups, which
included: Don't freak Out; Be Proud!, Just between Us, Teacher Appreciation, Scrap booking, and Group Works.
The EIDASC
chose a unique fundraiser for their cause. They decided to raise money for Save the Children, which is a 30-year-old program. Everyone school was all told to sell paper links for $1 each, in order to make a chain
symbolizing the support of the great cause. We were to bring our chains to the
workshop to show our progress. In all, $1150.50 was raised for Save the Children, which would use the money to aid the Tsunami
Victims in Southern Asia.
I want to thank
Ramsey High School
for hosting the EIDASC Spring Workshop. We all had a great time and we hope to see you again soon.
