Instructions for Dinner Volunteers

Please confirm which program with which you will partner: Dallas or Sherman/Denison.

Thank you for your support and commitment to our summer program. Below are helpful instructions and meal ideas. Please contact Janalee Shadburn, Volunteer Coordinator, at 214-946-3600 to be scheduled.

• Dinner is served buffet style at 6:00 pm at the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity House at SMU, 3072 SMU Blvd. for Dallas and at the Bryan Apartments Community Room at Austin College (900 N. Grand Ave.) for Sherman/Denison.

• Prepare dinner and drinks for 100 in Dallas or 10 in Sherman/Denison, plus the number of volunteers that will be providing the meal and sharing it with the interns.

• Since there is limited access to the stove, please bring the meal prepared.

• Volunteers will eat with the interns to learn about their experiences in Project Transformation and lend support.

• Several of the interns are vegetarian, it is not necessary to plan a "meat-less" meal, but an option for vegetarians would be helpful.
