Curious About What We Did in the Fall?
September 21, 2007 - ARC Canteen
- The first community service event! It is from 7-8:30 (rides will be provided)
- This organization works with older adults who are mentally disabled. They have these social events twice a month and what we do each time is different; sometimes we play games and other times it is a dance. It is a lot of fun and all the people there are really great!
- *Note - This does count as your one club event that must be completed before going to UNC.*
October 13, 2007 - Breast Cancer 5K/10K
- It takes place in Harrisonburg, outside of the community center

October 2, 2007 - Cici's!
- Basically, we eat pizza and the club receives money for it.
- The way to earn more money is to spread the word to as many people as possible. There is a facebook group currently, you are more than welcome to send it out to all of your friends. So try to bring roommates, friends, random people you pass walking by (not so much the last one, that could be weird)! The more people who come, the more we receive!!!
