Why Support G4G? (much improved title)
G4G cultivates curious and inspired minds through encouraging them to gather and share their passions, discoveries and vocations—just as Gardner would have. Whether it’s through puzzles and games, magic, art, architecture, music, or another creative endeavor, any opportunity to turn math into something beautiful is a chance to stimulate minds to create new discoveries and potentially life changing Aha! Moments.
We hope you will help support the fun and learning!
Below are my suggestions to the previous paragraph. I thought the list of endeavors was longer than need-be, so I shortened it. I changed math into mathematics, but I would prefer if there was more emphasis on inquiry and discovery and less

We invite you to join and support G4G.
The following also looks good to me. I just added a comma after "appreciated" and before the word "but."
Volunteer Your Time
There are many ways to help G4G, financial contributions are always appreciated, but volunteering at events or applying for one of our volunteer positions is another great way to help out and gain experience while supporting a great cause!
I suggest adding volunteer opportunities to http://www.gathering4gardner.org/volunteer/. I suggest asking Bruce what types of volunteer opportunities he would suggest. Barry Hayes may also have some good suggestions. He was getting a PhD at Stanford when I was getting my MS there. Here are some of my suggestions for volunteers.
G4G13 gift exchange bag stuffer - Prepare bags with attendees gifts, best done a week before G4G13. (I think Scott got people to do this. I can imagine that it took a while.)
G4G13 Registrar - Register people at the conference and for events at the conference (those that didn't register in advance or want to change or add events to their schedule).
G4G13 Gopher - Help out as

G4G13 Distributor - Get people to put schedules on tables and other things that we might want to distribute.
G4G13 Security - Guard the sales area and other areas when attendees are at the talks or at meals. (Do we need this or can we just lock doors?)

...e school, such as; Pelotonia, Light the Night for leukemia and lymphoma, Franklin County Board of Developmental Disabilities, etc… For many of these organizations I have volunteered more than once. Volunteering at Light the Night has a story. For my 16th Birthday party, I wanted to have my friends and I volunteer in the day while having fun at night. So I had 7 boys and girls, along with me, volunteer for Light the Night, organized by me. The party was a huge success and a lot of fun. I look forward to organizing more volunteer opportunities for my friends and I.
In the past, I have volunteered for our bands fundraiser every Christmas, which we host at our high school. It is a unique moment in time, to see the joy of children's faces as they walk into the school that morning for Breakfast with Santa. Being able to put on a performance for those children that morning brings joy to my heart and keeps me coming back each year. Another event is the Special Olympics held in Houghton Lake. Students from our school every year go and help setup and run the Special Olympics. Helping out and getting to talk to participants is an honor and has created new relationships with people. I want to be able to give even more back to my wonderful community through the National Honor Society by volunteering and helping as much as I can. Meeting new people, and helping them in ways that can change their life can have a permanent effect on one's self, and NHS opens that
Another service that I have done has been to volunteer at the West Campus Hospital gift shop. It was a great experience for me; if I had the time I would make the effort to volunteer again. For people that is good at socializing with others and love organizing I would recommend volunteering at the gift shop.
Before beginning my volunteer work I faced quite a dilema. Where could I influence children, help them develop their leadership potential, educate them about agriculture, and have fun-all at the same time?
When I found out that I had to do seven hours of volunteer work I immediately knew that I wanted it to involve children. I attended the volunteer fair that was held earlier in the semester and signed up for programs such as Louie’s Kids and Wings for Kids. Unfortunately I could not volunteer for either of these programs because they were not in walking distance of the college and I did not have transportation. A couple weeks after that I saw a flyer advertising for “Reading Partners.” I attended an informational event that they held and signed up to volunteer at Memminger Elementary, which is about two blocks from the college.
Through the courses I feel I developed when it came to composing. Whether it be figuring out how to discover scholastic diaries or making an annotated bibliography. In spite, the fact that I have made upgrades despite everything I make them develop to do. The fate of what sorts of composing I should do contingent upon the class or major is still vague, yet utilizing the information obtained from this class will give me aide in future papers and class assignments dealing with writing. Despite the fact that, I have learned assortment of things my aptitudes when it seeks composing still needs change. Skills, such as appropriate sentence structure and APA format or citation, still need some improvement. Despite the fact that I have things to enhance this semester, I was still ready to enhance a few ranges of my written work
I have always been involved in groups that perform community service projects. In fact, I was recently elected to as VP of Public Relations of the Student MOVE group. We are a group of 12 individuals that are the advisory committee for all of the community service organizations on campus, but we organize many alternative activities and events. I even did a service learning project for my Spanish class last semester with Cynthia Wells. I attended the Spanish mass every Sunday, and I was a greeter. I learned their culture and rituals while still attending the usual Catholic Mass.

I have been involved in the American Cancer Society for five years. My team, Team Hoot has raised funds for cancer as well as participating in Relay for Life each year. This year, I will be on the board committee at Relay; giving back to the survivors. This organization is one that I always promote and give back to. Also being involved in Relay for Life this year, National Honors Society is a club that helps the community. Being on the executive board, I correlate new service projects as well as corresponding with the Lee County National Honor Society chapter. Also, I am forming a new club at North Fort Myers High, Red Cross Club. Being president, Red Cross helps donates funds back to the American Red Cross. This year we are planning to donate materials for our troops as well as materials for individuals in disaster situations. Giving back to the community is very important to me. Being passionate about making a difference is a drive that I always
At the Science Museum I helped take inventory as well as help prepare for community services such as the Science Nights and Boy Scout and Girl Scout camp-ins. When I was young, I personally had the opportunity to participate in one of the Girl Scout camp-ins they hosted. I remember how the volunteers worked hard cooking our breakfast and helping with the activities. It was very rewarding to be on the giving end instead of the receiving end. The Science Nights, which are free to the public, are a good outreach to the young students in the community. These nights are a way of making education fun and exciting for the children.

...re encompassing way, it becomes very clear that everything that we do or encounter in life can be in some way associated with math. Whether it be writing a paper, debating a controversial topic, playing Temple Run, buying Christmas presents, checking final grades on PeopleSoft, packing to go home, or cutting paper snowflakes to decorate the house, many of our daily activities encompass math. What has surprised me the most is that I do not feel that I have been seeking out these relationships between math and other areas of my life, rather the connections just seem more visible to me now that I have a greater appreciation and understanding for the subject. Math is necessary. Math is powerful. Math is important. Math is influential. Math is surprising. Math is found in unexpected places. Math is found in my worldview. Math is everywhere. Math is Beautiful.
