Re: Know anyone who can design a kid's craft project?

 

I recommend you talk with TeacherPatti, and/or (who specializes in this). I also did a bit of consulting along these lines with a group doing outreach for middle school kids around equity and inclusion for disability. I know Rotary is broader than that, but these might give you some ideas. Here is a cut and paste from a follow-up message I sent to them.??

===================

The links from our chat today.?
<>?

I also just found a printable *typeable* origami fortune teller pattern!
<>?

This could, theoretically, be something else that folk pick up from the table and take with them.?

I also found "Cards for Inclusion."?
<>?
<>?
I can think of dozens of ways to use these interactively that might work with that age group. It could be a good resource for teachers, too.?
Similar:?

Board games:

RPGs:

I have no clue what would make a good project that kids could easily complete and take away. Would any of you happen to know anyone who could help us design some kind of Rotary-themed kid¡¯s craft project??

The University of Michigan is located on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe people.? In 1817, the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Bodewadami Nations made the largest single land transfer to the University of Michigan.? This was offered ceremonially as a gift through the Treaty at the Foot of the Rapids so that their children could be educated.? Through these words of acknowledgement, their contemporary and ancestral ties to the land and their contributions to the University are renewed and reaffirmed.

Hunting Facebook pages? (Not raccoons)

 


I'm looking for a volunteer or two, to help me hunt down Facebook pages.? (Hopefully a respite from hunting raccoons :-) )

I'm relatively new to this list (and the lunches), but I've known a few of the folk from many years back (Hi, Ed V!? Hi, David Bloom!).? I hope this sort of post is appropriate for the group -- if not, I trust that whatever passes for leadership :-) will let me know.

Specifically, I'm looking for someone to write a tiny bit of code (any language that will run on a Linux server) that calls the Facebook API, and tells me if any given (arbitrary) FB page exists (and is public) -- or not.? (No, curl-ing the page will not suffice, I've been down that road.? It has to be via the FB API.)

Why on earth would I want to do this (I hear you ask)?? Long story, stop/delete now if you're not interested.

Since the 2016 election ("a date that will?live in infamy"), I've been using my software architect skills to help build infrastructure for progressive and Democratic campaigns in Michigan.? (The anti-gerrymandering amendment of 2018 was one of our successes.)? I retired in 2024, and now I do this (volunteer) work full-time-ish.

One tiny piece is keeping the list of Democratic organizations (county parties, caucuses, clubs, districts, etc.) up-to-date.? Including (finally!)... if their Facebook page URLs are correct.

Anyone interested?? In this specific task, or the general idea of bringing the Michigan Dems into the 21st century?

A2 collector donates rare cookbooks to New York Public Library
collection: Daniel Freidus, a retired U-M academic adviser, has given
Dorot Jewish Division more than 250 items that he acquired online, at
book fairs around the country, and by browsing specialized bookstores,
according to an NYPL blog post. Among the books he¡¯s gifted are ¡°Like
Mama Used to Make: a Collection of Favorite and Traditional Jewish
Dishes,¡± which was published by the Women of the Ann Arbor Chapter of
Hadassah in 1952.

From NYPL:

Daniel¡¯s incredible dedication, commitment, energy, and enthusiasm are
well captured by the Yiddish word zamler, meaning a voluntary
collector¡ªone of those great lovers of libraries who played a crucial
role in building Jewish collections in Europe in the first half of the
20th century and brought this tradition with them to America.

And there is yet another deep connection that makes Daniel¡¯s
contribution even more meaningful. Daniel Freidus comes from a? family
with roots in Riga, Latvia, directly related to Abraham Freidus, the
first Head of the Jewish Division of The New York Public Library
(1897¨C1923). One can tell that passion for books and libraries really
runs in the family, whose spiritual connection to NYPL seems to pass
through generations.
