Hey! Good to see you're all back to see what I've been up to since last time...unfortunately, there's not much to tell. I've been pretty sick the last three days but have still managed to make it to work and my internship. Other than that, I've been sleeping! I've only had three beers in the last three days, so you know something is terribly wrong with me! That doesn't excuse me from making at least SOME progress on my project, so here it is.
Last class, after looking at my storyboard, Professor Lieb recommended using more than just the one volunteer site for my story. That amazed me, as I thought my entire project was just on singles volunteering in Baltimore, and I hadn't thought about adding other unique ideas in the area. Luckily, the site has a "Links" link that users can click on to find other services located not only locally but nationally. I decided the local sites would be best for this assignment, and researched them to see what would be most interesting to include in my final project.
There are a bunch of sites that are unique and interesting, so I hope to speak with Professor Lieb and narrow them down a bit. My favorites so far include: American Singles Golf Association (which doesn't seem to exist), Baltimore's Dinner For Ten, Bike & Brunch, Inc. (Jewish only), and two sites that focus on singles sailing the Chesapeake together: Cheasapeake Sailing Association (again, nonexistent) and Singles on Sailboats, Inc., both non-profit organizations. I'm leaning more toward these last two, since they hit so close to home and seem very unique. Well, let me know what you think. I'm feeling a bit better, and hope to find out more on these organizations this week!

Jon,
I think the best bet is to choose a wide range of organizations. But remember: Your job is not to write PR for the organizations but to find interesting stories of the people who run them and use them.
