On Saturday morning (11/21/2009) a handful of intrepid ADDA'ers marched into the Auburn Food Bank to repack flour and sugar for the needy. What was supposed to be an easy morning turned into something quite different. The sugar and flour job went to a local Little League team. We ended up with the task of counting and sorting over 5,000 individual "units" (a unit being an individual can, jar, or package) of donated food.

Tim Ritchey, Joseph Ritchey (his son), Julie Axberg, Gabriel Sosienski, Sam Little, Ashley Shoemaker, and myself transformed a disordered and chaotic mess into the very picture of order. As drafters, we took satisfaction in the squared edges of the stacked crates, but as people we felt good at providing a means of feeding over 300 families.

Thanks again to all those who participated.

Welcome!




Welcome back to another quarterly race to the finish line! Hello, my name is Chris Flanagan-Linderman (you can just call me Chris) and I’m the ADDA reporter for this Fall Quarter at GRCC. First off I wanted to get you up to speed as to who is serving the greater GRCC ADDA collective this quarter.

Jeremy Tatum – President
Gabriel Sosienski – Vice President
Tim Ritchey – Secretary
Becca – Treasurer
Chris Flanagan-Linderman – Reporter

Please know that we are here to serve you in any way possible, including answering association/school/program specific questions. I can assure you that if we don’t have the answers or at least a silly one-liner to cover up our lack thereof, than we can direct you to someone who can!


This week’s upcoming chapter meeting will focus on electing committee chairpersons for the following activities: HPPV (Human Powered Paper Vehicle), Association Luncheon (catered or potluck), Guest Speaker headhunter, ASE (There is no committee chairperson position needed, just some committed volunteers!), Giving From the Heart (We have found more money in our accounts which makes this a viable and feel-good activity for the club.) Please come prepared to volunteer for any and all of these worthy activities. We need everyone’s energy, enthusiasm and support. To date, the committee chairpersons that we do have are:

Justine Walker – Adopt-a-Road
Julie Axelberg – Field Trip
Chris Flanagan-Linderman - Food Bank (indicated as “Food Drive” on the sign-up sheet)


This is all I have to report at this time. Please check back in next week as I will have information posted detailing times and dates for many of these upcoming activities.

Welcome back Green River ADDA!


Well, here we are starting up our fall quarter and if you are working on a Drafting Design certificate or an AA in Design Drafting you've come to the right place.
Today (Tuesday the 29 of Sept) we introduced the officers of the GRCC American Design Drafting Association chapter and told you a little about the club.
This was just a taste of what is to come this quarter and we want you to be involved. As we said today there are many benefits for joining ADDA and we need your help to kick off a successful fall quarter.

Our first meeting it this next Thursday Oct 1st at the SMT Building third floor in the main Drafting classroom. "Hint" It's the room with all of the large Drafting tables.
The time is from Noon to 1PM and you will be glad you came!
We'll be discussing the ground work of the program and electing new officers.

So bookmark our blog and check it weekly!
