To have a group in Atchison for "young professionals" to join and feel apart of something. This group would have three main branches
1. Professional Development
2. Networking/Social
3. Philanthropy
Philanthropy etymologically means "love of humanity" in the sense of caring for, nourishing, developing, and enhancing "what it is to be human" on both the benefactors' (by identifying and exercising their values in giving and volunteering) and beneficiaries' (by benefiting) parts. (Wikipedia)
Ideas for events:
1. Brew for Boots
2. Table for 10
3. Cocktails for a Cause
4. Coat Drive
5. Canned Food Drive
6. Book Drive
7. School Supplies
8. Trivia for Toys
This group could potentially hit all of the target areas we wanted the kids, the poor and the elderly.
Things to think about...how do we make sure people have fun, get something out of the event and come to another?

I can't think of a "T" either. Instead of a T you could have LENS (Leadership, Entertainment, Networking and Service)?
