Salmon Run DREAM Monthly Snapshot October 2014 Program Happenings and Highlights •
•
Salmon Run had a month of fundraising this October. Mentors volunteered their time at the Ben & Jerry’s Factory in Waterbury and in return received $90 for their program! Mentors and mentors held a bake sale on campus, fundraising almost $60 during the short 2 hours they were outside. Salmon Run sent 2 mentors to DREAMstock, the annual event hosted by the DREAM office to provide mentors with workshops and sessions that aim to help improve programs. Mentors from across Vermont attended and shared their experiences with each other. Mentors brought what they learned back to their program and are excited to start implementing their new ideas!
