National Service Week
This week is APO's 25th Anniversary National Service Week. In working along the theme of "Building a Sound Mind" our chapter's projects are as follows:
- We will be working with UTD's Peer Health Educators (P.H.Eds) and the Counseling Center to provide educational materials to the student population on stress, anxiety and depression at a booth in the Student Union from 11:00am to 3:00pm, Monday through Friday. Also, we have arranged for the Counseling Center to provide a session in the Counseling Center Conference room (1.608A, SU) on dealing with stress. This session is from noon to 1:00pm Thursday.
- We have scheduled two opportunities for other students to participate in our weekly campus cleanup project. From 4:00pm to 5:00pm on Monday and Wednesday we will lead groups around the campus to pick up trash.
- We are encouraging everyone to volunteer at one of the locations of Heart House. Heart House is an organization which provides after school programs and a place to study for children in low income areas. Volunteers will have the opportunity to sit down with children as they arrive from school and help them in their studies and read to them. Please contact me if you are interested in participating in this. There is a volunteer application that every individual must complete before going to Heart House.
- Our pledge class is holding its pledge service this Saturday from 10:00am to Noon at the Lakewood Nursing Home. We will be making Christmas cards and playing Bingo with them. (contact the Pledge Chair, Navin for more information: KC13051@aol.com)
