Second Harvest Food Bank

Car Wash

A couple of students from my Freshman Year Experience class got together and had a car wash at the Red Lobster on St.Augustine Road, near Valdosta Colonial Mall. Even though there were only about eight people there, it was actually a lot of fun. We decided to donate all of the money to the Second Harvest Food Bank!

Humane Society of Valdosta“Car Wash”

April 22, 2006 was suppose to be the day that we were going to have the Car Wash, but “Mother Nature” decided to rain. We were suppose to have our 2nd Car Wash at Steak-n-Shake. The money was suppose to be donated to the Humane Society of Valdosta. We tried again on Sunday, but that didn’t work out either.

Humane Society of Valdosta Information

• The Humane Society is a large group of caring volunteers whose main objective is to improve the lives of animals in Lowndes County and surrounding areas.

• The main objectives of the society were to improve the lives of animals and put an end to pet overpopulation.

•The Humane Societies slogan, “We Speak For Those Who Cannot Speak For Themselves”, expresses their desire to be a voice for the animals in our community through education, outreach, and advocacy.

Kickball Tournament for Lung Cancer

• The Dorms had a dorm vs dorm Kickball tournament.

• We had to pay an entry fee to play and the money went towards lung cancer research (I think?)

• Hopper hall put together a team, but we lost pretty early in the tournament.

After participating in various Community Service projects, I concluded things aren’t as hard as they seem. A lot of people choose not to do community service because it seems so time consuming, but after you get into it, it is not as bad as it seems. I actually think I enjoyed participating in these community service projects. You meet so many new people and you get to socialize with many people who you probably would have never spoken with.
