The saga continues

We're slipping!! We're down to #32, but I have faith that we will jump right back up! I haven't emailed professors yet. I need to do that.

My current thing dealing with Hunger and Homelessness is the Cans Across America project. It's through Sodexho, our dining hall service, and it's a nationwide canned food drive. We're trying to beat our personal record of 881 pounds of food, and Sodexho as a whole is trying to beat the World Record. Woo!! I sent out a Facebook message today to recruit people, and I've gotten a couple responses already =)

I can't submit my report for this blog yet because I have to have my 5 weekly blogs published, and I didn't know how it worked so I reported after one blog, thinking I'd just have to report them all individually. Nope, just every five! I like it. Easier.

Not a whole lot happened today regarding ONE. April Bentley (Habitat for Humanity Coordinator on SLEB) will be taking a group of volunteers to the Habitat ReStore on Wednesday, October 17th. Afterward, she'll give a quick session about ONE and what it's all about to get more recruits for the ONE Campus Challenge!

This week's challenge is to plan an event for 10/17...that's the day of our Westheimer Peace Symposium, so we can't do a whole lot around it. April is taking people to the ReStore, so that's something. It's related somewhat to poverty - they build houses, after all =)

That's about all the reporting I have for today. I'm super excited about the ONE Campus Challenge!!

Until next time,
