Winter is finally here! On one of the coldest mornings of November, we had our Make a Difference Day event put on through the Center for Community-Based Learning, Leadership and Research. We were lucky enough to get snow the night before so we had to get creative with our rakes. A few residents woke up bright and early on a chilly, Saturday morning to do volunteer work within our community. We used the busing system to get transported to our assigned houses and helped elderly winterize their homes and do some needed yard work. While the leaves were piled high and the wind was bitter cold, we pushed through and made a positive impact on our community.
The residents were happy to have participated and we were even rewarded with a few Snickers bars! The rest of this month was filled with a well needed Thanksgiving break, lots of studying, and plenty of exams. The lounge has included socialization and studying and the residents are filled with anticipation to finish finals and fast forward to Winter Break!
