Job opportunity for you residents!

*** Fall 2013 Job Opportunities Making Social Change ***

We’re looking for smart, hard-working students who work well in a team and are eager to work for change after graduation.

The Fund for the Public Interest helps some of the top progressive organizations in the country work on issues such as green energy, equal rights for GLBT Americans, and stopping big corporate money in our elections.  And we're hiring!

Specifically, we're hiring Citizen Outreach Directors to run our grassroots campaign offices across the country next fall -- working on behalf of groups like the Environment America, the Human Rights Campaign and US PIRG. It's a lot of responsibility, mainly focused on hiring, training and managing a staff that goes out into communities to build grassroots support for these organizations’ campaigns. We’re looking for students who might be up for this challenge and would be passionate about working on environmental and social justice campaigns.

We are looking for smart, motivated students who want to get their hands dirty and make a real impact on some of the most critical issues facing our society.

If you are interested in applying:

Me when I'm trying to pile into a full elevator...

Make sure to check out The Condom Races this Thursday (time TBA) on Floor 15!!!

Get a Chipotle for your.... BLOOD!!!!

Sounds morbid right? #TeamEdwards. In 3 days, you will get the opportunity to do just the opposite of dying in the hands of a vampire or cult... you will save someone's life with your blood. To thank you for such a selfless act of kindness (and I'm sure Edward AND Jacob will approve of this), the Red Cross is giving away $5 gift card to.... yours truly.....  C-H-I-P-O-T-L-E!!!

 

Monday, 8/27 from 2-8pm

Tuesday, 8/28 from 2-8pm

Please do not forget to set an appointment by either calling 1-800-RED CROSS (733-2767), or by going on www.redcrossblood.org with the sponsor code buckeyes.

If you do not set up an appointment before Monday, you can still do it on site the day of the blood drive!

IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER BEFORE YOU GIVE BLOOD:

• Get a good night's sleep
• Eat a good breakfast the morning of the drive
• Drink plenty of fluids
• Relax! Remember, you can potentially help save up to THREE lives!

SAVE A LIFE... GIVE BLOOD!

Hey Lincolnians,

You have the opportunity to make a change in someone's life by donating blood right here in your own building. You could also win something.... (read the trick fine print). Read this poster below:

TOWER OF TACOS!!!

So you heard Marushka and your RA talk about the Tower of Tacos... What is it all about and where is it going to be?

=



Starting at 8PM, you will come to the second floor of Lincoln to learn all about the TofT. You will go to each floor to make your taco while learning about different resources and leadership opportunities Lincoln and OSU has to offer you. There will be an element of competitition but you've got to participate to find out.

This is a tradition here in Lincoln and this year will be no exception. We look forward to seeing you all after classes.

Have fun and congratulations on making it to Lincoln!


PS: Our theme this year is Lion King... even that picture still doesn't make any sense... o.O

Want to be an OA?!

Do you LOVE Lincoln House so much that not only do you want to eat, sleep, and study here, but you also want to work here?! If you found yourself screaming "yes" excitedly in response to the previous question then you should definitely apply to be an OA. Click here or visit the Lincoln House 2012-2013 Facebook group to get an application.

All applications are due September 3, 2012 to the Lincoln House Front Desk.

If you have any questions email me at meyer.813@osu.edu.

Thanks!
Jenn Meyer, Lincoln House RM

Night of fun with the OWLs... rooooo!

Welcome beautiful Lincoln OWLs,

You will get to eat the tastiest cookies on campus, coming from a local store on High Street named Insomnia Cookies! They are too die for. And of course, who doesn't like ice cream after a long day of work during the summer?

Where: Lincoln Play room on floor 15
When: Friday, August 15
What time: 8:30 pm to.... rooooo!

See you all there soon!

- Love, Lincoln Staff!

I'm so booooored...

Oh really? There is NO way you cannot find something interesting to do here when you're bored. Here's how you can find out where the party's at:

For Lincoln events
Check out the LL Programs tabs on this blogs. You will also get updates from your RA via flyers, Facebook (Like "Lincoln House 2012-2013" now), Twitter, and email (check your buckeyemail and don't diss your RA's emails).

For Campus Events
OSU as a whole has an Events Calendar online (1st link) and the Union also has its own calendar (2nd link):
http://www.osu.edu/events/indexWeek.php
http://ohiounion.osu.edu/events.aspx

For recreational events
If you have a member with the RPAC, you will be receiving their newsletter. If not, you can check out the link below:
http://recsports.osu.edu/events/

For Columbus events
There are so many websites to choose from in addition to Yelp and Google. Here are a few:
www.experiencecolumbus.com
www.columbusalive.com
http://columbus.metromix.com
www.meetup.com

Now get out of your room and go have fun! :)

Too lazy to cook or dine out?

No one will leave this building without having ordered something to be delivered in Lincoln. The beauty of Columbus and especially the University District is the variety of food that you can get delivered besides PIZZA!


Here are just a few (you can find more information on GrubHub):

• Subs (jimmy johns, king's pizza, pita pit, PAD)
• Pizza/wings (domino's, pizza hut, PAD, king's pizza, formaggio, etc...)
• Asian (Taste of orient)
• Italian (formaggio, king's pizza, etc...)
• Mexican 
• Greek (Pita Pit)
• Desserts (Insomnia Cookies)

Rejoice Lincoln League, for where I come from, pizza and subs were the only two types of food and there were about 4 food joints that delivered.


PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! though... do not only eat these... remember, you are what you eat! We are one of the very few buildings that have a common kitchen so let's use it. A post will be coming soon about adopting a healthy diet in very early on in college, especially in your first couple of years, and especially when you live on-campus. Watch out for that post....
