This many meals will feed 89 children for one year.&nbsp;It was a fun, fast-paced, and engaging volunteer opportunity that we look forward to working with in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.namablog.org\/images\/\/NC-Nov-46502201_2064548610235012_7988691994362773504_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13920\" width=\"296\" height=\"222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.namablog.org\/images\/NC-Nov-46502201_2064548610235012_7988691994362773504_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.namablog.org\/images\/NC-Nov-46502201_2064548610235012_7988691994362773504_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.namablog.org\/images\/NC-Nov-46502201_2064548610235012_7988691994362773504_n-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 296px) 100vw, 296px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.namablog.org\/images\/\/NC-Nov-46517464_2064548653568341_5602313258812833792_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13921\" width=\"284\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.namablog.org\/images\/NC-Nov-46517464_2064548653568341_5602313258812833792_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.namablog.org\/images\/NC-Nov-46517464_2064548653568341_5602313258812833792_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.namablog.org\/images\/NC-Nov-46517464_2064548653568341_5602313258812833792_n-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 284px) 100vw, 284px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>North Central NAMA\nHoliday Party<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The North Central NAMA Chapter hosted its annual Holiday\nParty at Inbound Brew Co. in Minneapolis, MN. The 36 attendees enjoyed craft\nbeers, food from the Big Red Wagon food truck and an assortment of board\nmember-baked Christmas cookies. Many members even dressed up festively in order\nto spread their holiday cheer and win the dress up contest. And in true holiday\nspirit, toys and donations were collected for the Marine Toys for Tots\nFoundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This event gave many members a great opportunity to catch up with longtime friends as well as connect and meet new professionals in our organization. We had the pleasure to host about 10 members from the University of Minnesota Student NAMA chapter.&nbsp; We are working to stay better engaged with the student chapters and create valuable relationships with our future NAMA leaders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.namablog.org\/images\/\/NC-Dec-48211983_2093209037368969_5676288177791303680_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13919\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.namablog.org\/images\/NC-Dec-48211983_2093209037368969_5676288177791303680_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.namablog.org\/images\/NC-Dec-48211983_2093209037368969_5676288177791303680_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.namablog.org\/images\/NC-Dec-48211983_2093209037368969_5676288177791303680_n-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nov\/Dec Event Summaries North Central NAMA Volunteers at Feed My Starving Children On November 20, 2018, the North Central NAMA Chapter organized an evening of&nbsp;volunteer meal packing at Feed My Starving Children in Eagan, MN.
