Stem event at BGSU...
I assisted the Toledo Area Humane Society as they participated in the STEM event at BGSU on Saturday morning from 9 am - 1pm. It was a first time event and there were 100's of kids there participating in all the events. In addition to the TAHS, there were other vendors with games and activities for kids too!
At the TAHS booth we handed out paperwork... flyers of upcoming events, newsletters amd education programs offered by the TAHS. We played a game with the kids.... matching a picture of different dogs by a description and information about the breed. Plus, we played with Brutus....yes named after the OSU Buckeyes mascot. Brutus is a 4 month old Chiweinie,known as part Chihuahua and Dachsaund, also referred to as a "mutt" breed but in Hollywood it would be Chiweinie lol. Amyways, Brutus in is first debut event got to meet and greet the kids plus learn some socialization skills, which I think he did very well. Brutus belongs to Jackie one of the educators at TAHS and was adopted from the TAHS when his mother and 3 other pups were surrendered to the TAHS when he was 3 days old. He was fostered out until able to be adopted at 8 weeks.
It was a fun event and I get to be more involved with event and appearances made by the TAHS... more than just walking dogs and cleaning cages when I do my basic volunteer work which I also love to do. But it's a chance to relax some from collegiate curriculum....organic chemistry and molecular genetics is consuming my life again lol. Its a reminder of why I am doing this..... for the pets and animals. Plus I made a connection with BGSU pre-vet students as well, and received an invitation to come to the farm where they go and get some large animal experience with them..... so excited!! So life is good!!
Here are some pics from the event.....

What's Up.........
Hello, sorry I haven't blogged in awhile but I have been very busy..... I enjoyed my few days away at Miss Ohio week competitions. It was really exciting watching the preliminary level and then being there for crowning our new Miss Ohio 2010 - Becky Minger. Congrats Becky you were so awesome all week! Also, Congrats to 1st RU Shannon O'Neill and 2nd RU - Marisa Buchheit, my Miss Maple City team!!! I'm so happy for you and so proud!! We, mom and I spent the week with friends in Columbus, Carrie and Eric which was a lot of fun, thanks guys!!
Well for most people, school has been out but not for me. I am taking summer classes this year Calculus 1 & 2. So, I just finished my first summer session of Calc 1 and now starting the second session of Calc 2 which will be over the first week of August. Just in time for Band camp to start at U of Toledo Rocket Marching Band. I am Section Leader for the Piccolo section so I will be busy this fall.
As for now, I am working this summer at Steak & Shake restaurant, trying to make as much money as I can before school starts because with school, marching band, and Kappa Kappa Psi I probably won't have time to do to much of anything else. Chemistry and Biology consume my life and free time does not exist because it is usually spent studying and studying and then more studying. I was elected Historian for Kappa Kappa Psi so I have to document everything the Fraternity does and scrapbook all the events by taking pictures etc. so that's going to keep me busy too.
In addition to work and school, I have been working on a fund raising Benefit for charity that hopefully will be all put together real soon. Plus, this is the month I will be doing an internship with the Toledo Humane Society, teaching at Summer camps for kids about being responsible pet owners which follows along with my Platform for Miss Ohio. So excited and can't wait!!

Bark in the Park
Show off your favorite furry friend while supporting the homeless animals of the Toledo Area Humane Society.
The Bark in the Park is a fun event for everyone in the family, including your four-legged friends! Activities include a 1.5 mile journey around Arrowhead Park, music, food, vendor displays, raffles, festival style games, animal contests, demonstrations and more.
Help raise money for the animals of TAHS by collecting pledges for your walk time. Prizes will be given to the top individual pledge raiser and the two top walk teams. A special prize will also be given to the "Top Tot", a junior walker age 12 or under, who raises the most money in pledges. All walkers will receive a commemorative t-shirt for their participation in the event.
Be sure to join in our exciting dog contest including:
Most unusual looking dog
Looks most like its owner
Biggest party pooper
The most misbehaved
Sloppiest kisser
If your favorite furry friend doesn't happen to be a canine, you can still join in the fun. Why not try pinning a picture of your cat, bird, hamster, horse or rabbit to the front of your walk shirt and show that you are a proud pet owner!
