It was nice to shop for our colonial harvest basket and donate the items to needy families. The items we purchased are able to support that family through a happy holiday season and enjoy their time with their families stress free.

Review and Reflection:
Helped the grounds crew weed gardens by Fulbright and Milken, and cleaned out the gravel paths and gardens of leaves and cigarettes in front of Milken.

Seeing the results of our labor was very rewarding, especially the gravel, and benches near Milken. I have attached before and after pictures showing what we were able to accomplish. The other weeding was a little tedious and back-wrenching work after having a pretty strenuous lift the day before.

I was a little disappointed that we were able to plant trees and water them like others did in the morning session. This I was looking forward to, so have to make the adjustment mentally to doing another task was necessary.

Feedback:
I think athletes are certainly a good group of volunteers to target for this organization because of their dedication and work ethic. This we communicated to the grounds that were in charge of us. And they were very thankful for this information and resource that they hadn't tapped into before this volunteer opportunity. They mentioned needing more volunteers at a later date and were excited at potentially having more athletes help them out.

On October 20th, I was fortunate enough to help out the community by weeding as well as hoeing the needed areas outside the Science and Engineering Hall. I appreciated working hard, as well as being able to help the university and the environment.

Volunteered at the boo at the zoo at the DC zoo. Handed out candy to kids as they walked around in their Halloween costumes.
