Plan for fun, Learning and service!

End of Year Appeal:  We have a generous funder wishing to MATCH your donation to Cornell Club's scholarship fund <-- donate here!

Community Service Spotlight: Members of our Running Group participated in Turkey Trots that benefited local charities (like ALIVE in Alexandria) on Thanksgiving. Winter cold is coming, so please donate your gently used and clean winter coat to Thrive's Winter Coat Drive. Sign up for our Jan. 24 food service project under "Events." Our art events honor First Responders and Federal Workers, so join us when we re-convene in January.  Please also send us contact information for organizations that receive used furniture to help Veterans transitioning from service to civilian life. Cornellians have donations to route their way! E-mail the VP of Community ServiceClothing is needed by Vietnam Vets and they'll pick up for free. In the spirit of the holidays, we focus volunteers on the Wreaths Across America opportunity provided at Arlington National Cemetery. Reach the VP/Community Service if you want to organize this activity for CCW in 2026. Can you provide a workshop about re-entering the workforce for people recently incarcerated, or experiencing homelessness? An area organization is looking for volunteers to address the need in DC.

Our club is looking for volunteers with technical and web communications expertise to hop onto our very fun Communications Committee. Reach back to help create our next generation of communications for CCW.  

Have an idea for an event? E-mail the VP of Programming in order to post and host events such as a new location for our "Explore DC Happy Hour" series! We have members looking for co-hosts to add new stops to our popular Big Red Food Tour

Join the committee that is organizing CCW's Amazing Race. Yep! Just like the TV show. An early January interest meeting will be announced soon to involve planner-organizers as well as 4-person squads to compete.  Questions? E-mail the VP of Community Service

Take our 5-minute survey so that we can use member input to see where to put efforts next. 

All members of CCW are always invited to club Board Meetings, typically the second Tuesday night of each month listed in our "Events" section. Come meet the gang!

Featured Cornellian:  

Have you seen Tony Chen's cool lists of Cornellians?  Learn more from him at his Virtual Connections listed at "Events".  Our next Featured Cornellian will be Hunter Rawlings III, the 10th president of Cornell (starting in 1987 and returning as interim president several times.)
