Fall 2007 Service Day

P.S. We donated 31 scarves to the "Red Scarf Project"!!!








Burrage Library hosted four Service Day efforts for students and staff on Wednesday, September 26th. The Hosford Society on the second floor worked on a campus resource map and volunteers in the basement wrote cards and letters to our warfighters overseas. Janine Peters organized knitters for "Helping Hands" and folks also created scarves for the "Red Scarf Project." We had a grand time and lots of activity was going on around the entire library! Olivet College retiree, Julie Walker, provided instruction for anyone who needed it. We also had a few satellite knitters knitting their red scarves elsewhere on campus during the day. Those who chose not to work with yarn created handmade, unique cards to be included with the Valentine's Day packages sent by the Orphan Foundation of America. Many thanks to everyone who made this a fantastic Service Day!
