Public safety is doing Toys for Tots. For donating a toy you will receive 5 POINTS. The toys
can be dropped off at 413 Academy Street (across the street from Smyth dorms and next to
Perkins). They can be dropped off anytime from now until Friday 12/14 at noon. When you
walk in, go right into the public safety office and tell the person at the window that you are
dropping off toys for NSCS so that you can sign the sheet. Please participate – this is for a great
cause and you can earn points too!
III. Scholarships $$$$$$

it’s a great chance to earn money towards your expensive education.

IX. The Deal With Points

For a member to be eligible for a free cord they need to accumulate 50 points. For every
meeting that you attend you will receive one point and for each hour of service that you
perform in addition to the three hours through NSCS you will also receive two points.
NSCS also has additional fundraisers, old electronic collections, and other drives that can
allow you to gain more points – look for further information regarding these. If you
perform outside service please e-mail Gabrielle documentation of your hours at
udnscssecretary@gmail.com or give her a hard copy of your documentation at the next
meeting.

3. X. PACE
PACE has begun. PACE is a very important part of the NSCS organization. PACE helps
kids in 9th -12th grade who are at risk of not attending college. NSCS volunteers help to
mentor the Delaware Future Kids and by tutoring them in their high school subjects,
whether its helping them with homework or to study for a test or just answering the
general questions that they have about college. PACE IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO
GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY and help kids who might not have an opportunity
to go to college – something that many of us take for granted.
The PACE program is once a week every Tuesday night from 6:00-7:00pm and it is a 15
minute drive away in Wilmington. The cars and gas will be provided. The program runs
for 10 weeks. If you are interested in participating or have any questions about this
wonderful service opportunity email Tyler at udNSCSpace@gmail.com.
We realize that this is a big time commitment, but since it is such a wonderful program
and we really want to encourage our members to participate we are going to give anyone
that participates in the 10 week program their 3 hours of NSCS community service, 20
points and additional points for the additional hours that you are there for a total of 27
points. If you are not able to make the 10 weeks, Tyler can work with your schedule but
please be able to attend for at least 3 weeks of the program.
Again the program has started so please e-mail Tyler ASAP at udNSCSpace@gmail.com
if you are interested!!
XI. Active Member Rules
Remember, in order to be considered an active member you must attend at least 2
meetings per semester and complete at least 3 hours of service through NSCS per
year! Outside service hours can count for extra points, but make sure you sign up for
the service trips we offer! If you CANNOT attend one month’s meetings please do
not email any of the officers—just try to make the next month’s instead!
Lastly, any general questions regarding NSCS can be sent to our president, Fernando, at
udNSCSpresident@gmail.com. Information is always being updated on our Facebook page
(http://www.facebook.com/nscs.delaware) so please check out that site first for any information
you’re looking to find! Any questions about points can be sent to udnscssecretary@gmail.com.
Also, please do not sign up for any PACE or Community Service trips if you are not sure
you can go. There are only a limited number of spots for each trip, and if you sign up and do not
participate, you're taking the spot of another member who might need the community service
hours! Also, if you do not attend and do not provide a legitimate excuse, you will lose 3 points.
Have an awesome Winter Break and see you NEXT YEAR! 
Your NSCS Secretary,
Gabrielle Perrotti
