When I visited the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska in early June (June 3). I saw that the majority of the zoo's facilities is funded by donations. The zoo is very clean and really nice. I wanted to do a CAS project that gives back to the community and spread awareness in order to preserve the zoo. I contacted a zoo coordinator and said that any type of donation is appreciated. There are many ways to help such as "adopt an animal" or simply give a money donation. A friend and I are considering on holding bake sales, showcase an exhibit based on an animal theme and making/selling bead key chains throughout the school year in hopes to give the profits to the zoo. I took pictures of the zoo of the animals for approximately 3 hours. I plan to make accessories with the pictures I took or sell my portraits in different sizes.

Sewing Classes
Approx Time Spent: 4 hours (every Wednesday on June 6-June 27)
Creative
During my sewing classes, I am able to be creative in different ways and become more artistic and aware how much knowing basic knowledge is helpful. As I sew, I learn to be patient as I am new at sewing and I learn to extend my horizon by doing a different project during every class. With every lesson, there is a different project and I learn to strengthen my sewing skills. In the beginning of every class, we begin practicing on patterns on papers with no thread on the sewing machine and try to sew within the lines. The lessons take place from 10 AM to 1 PM at Bernina's Sewing Studio which helps me to be productive during the summer.
Dates:
June 6, 2012 (made a stocking)
June 13, 2012 (made an apron)
June 20, 2012 (made a bag out of manure bag)
June 27, 2012 (made a dress)
TOTAL: 12 hours
