“Rake-A-Differnce”
Tommie came out to clean up the Neighborhood!
St. Thomas has so many opportunites to get internships, study abroad meet new people and ofcourse do service. One of the most unique opportunities to serve is when the Student Alumni Council or SAC does their fall community clean up. Sac memebers and many other UST students from the various differnt clubs come out on a sunday afternoon and rake and clean up yards of the elderly in the neighborhoods surrounding campus. It is a ton of fun.
I am always excited to Serve!
St. Thomas has over 135 differnt clubs and organizations ranging from the Ski club to Knights of Columbus to Chemistry club and everything in between. To be a member in good standing with any club each member must complete two hours of service a semester. During community clean up clubs can sign up together and go as a club and rake a yard. It is a great way to build commrodore within the club as well as do service for all of the UST neighbors. SAC sponsors this event and helps identify and cordinate which neighbors need us to come and clean up for them. It is a very rewarding expierence and the past two years I have done this I have gotten a cookie two after we were done with the yards:)
SUPER SAC MEMBERS GETTING READY TO RAKE
It is hard to believe that just a week ago we were outside raking yards. Last Tuesday I was even wearing shorts and Sperry’s. Now for most of us we have come to the realization that winter is upon us. It is not just the lack of color on the trees or the fact that its pitch black outside at 6, but it may have something to do with the O 7 inches of snow we got on Saturday. YIKES! Its ok. I love the snow, snowman, eggnog, christmas music and of course my favorite christmas movie ELF. Don’t worry I already watched it twice since it snowed:) Hope everyone stays warm. Just one more week until THANKSGIVING!!!! YUM
That's how Tommies Build a snowman!
