Community Service
Helping others is something that we all love doing. Our society likes to get involved in the community by fundraising, or helping out those who need a hand. One way to help out is by participating in events held at different places, and meeting people who want to change the way the world looks and is. Getting involved, we can all make a difference!!
"Perhaps the most important thing to understand, is that one group can have a huge impact on the world, and our society will always be a part of that experience".

| Date & Location: March 17, 2008 in pope 2 at 3:00pm-5:00pm |
| Notes: Our society helped a great group of smart middle school kids to complete a science project. Each member who attended felt closer with each of the kids. We all loved the experience, and would like to bring them back to Saint Peter's College. Every one of us learned something, and it brought us closer as a community. |

Ronald says, "It was fun to be a part of that experience, and meet those who live in such conditions, I'm happy that our society can give a hand to these people".
