September Meeting - Bridges to Prosperity, Jason C. HDR

This month's meeting will be held Tuesday, September 26th, at 5:30pm at Half Moon Sports Grill at 2121 E. Highland Avenue (near SR 51 at the Highland Ave/Camelback Rd exit). 
 
Jason, along with an industry team, joined Bridges to Prosperity (a non-profit organization) to construct a pedestrian bridge connecting two communities in Panama. The bridge was constructed over a period of two weeks. He will be presenting about his experience on the project and share some incredible photos with our group. 
 
YMF will also be raffling off a gift card for all attendees. 
 
Be sure to come out bring your business cards and enjoy a drink on us. It is a great way to get to know your fellow local engineers and make life long connections that will help immensely during your career.


Feed My Starving Children - 9/19/17
Last year a group of YMF members volunteered at the Feed My Starving Children facility in Mesa, AZ. It was one of our best outreach events and was a LOT of fun.

We have RSVP'd for a group of 15 volunteers this year to support the organization so we need volunteers! If you are available and would like to help feed thousands of children around the world, this is the event for you! 

FMSC provides nutritionally complete meals for malnourished children throughout the world. YMF volunteers will join an assembly line and race to pack as many meals as we can during our two hour session. Its a fun, fast paced event that contributes to an amazing cause.

The event is scheduled for Tuesday September 19 from 6-8pm. The facility is located at 1345 S Alma School Rd, Mesa, AZ 85210.

Contact Mackenzie Hagan, [email protected], if you have any questions about the event.  Or follow the link below and use the Join Code: 1201095
ASU Resume and Interviews Workshop - Volunteers Needed 9/21/17
Arizona State University's ASCE group is hosting a workshop for Resume and Interview Prep. They have asked YMF to provide volunteers to meet with students to discuss resumes and interviews. It is a great way to support our student group and potentially look for your next intern or EIT!
 
The event will be held on the Tempe campus from 6:30-7:30pm.
