  1. Doug Henderson Foundation/Auction By Darius Miliam

  2. What It’s All About • The Doug Henderson III Memorial Fund was established in honor of Doug Henderson II, who, in 2002, was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma, a rare form of soft tissue cancer. After a valiant fight against the disease, Doug passed away on September 6 2003.

  3. Service Learning • Service-learning is a method of teaching, learning and reflecting, frequently youth service, throughout the community. • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service-learning

  4. Benefits of Service Learning • Increase your understanding of the class topic • Gain hands-on experience (possibly leading to an internship or job later) • Explore or cement your values and beliefs • Have opportunities to act on your values and beliefs • Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills • Grow your understanding of diverse cultures and communities • Learn more about social issues and their root causes

  5. Continuation of Benfits • Improve your ability to handle ambiguity and be open to change; become more flexible • Develop or enhance your skills, especially in the areas of communication, collaboration, and leadership • Test out your skills, interests, and values in a potential career path, or learn more about a field that interests you • Connect with professionals and community members who you will learn from • Grow a professional network of people you might connect with again later for jobs or internships • Satisfy your urge toward public service or civic participation • http://www.servicelearning.umn.edu/info/benefits.html

  6. Another continuation • Connect with professionals and community members who you will learn from • Grow a professional network of people you might connect with again later for jobs or internships • Satisfy your urge toward public service or civic participation • http://www.servicelearning.umn.edu/info/benefits

  7. Baytree Pizza • Baytree Pizza was the only organization on my particular list this year that donated to the Doug Henderson Foundation.

  8. What did I get out of service Learning ? • Well I obviously got my hours for class, but I also learned a lot more. • I learned responsibility because of my procrastination. I found this out because I almost didn’t keep my word and that is all a man has in this world. • I found out how far a little will go. • I felt like I helped out in my own little way.

  9. Lasting Message • Those that give always have it given back to them. Even if someone is on there last they should still look to give rather than receive. If we all remember this than the world will be that much more of a better place.
