We are involved with a local elementary school in the not so nice part of town. We have an overnight for them every year and play games, eat food, watch movies, go swimming and other stuff the whole night. It is a lot of fun. Probably one of my favorite college memories so far. We also have a haunted school for them every year around halloween. They come and play games for candy and then go through our haunted house. It provides a safe place for the to trick-or-treat. We also have a tikki roast with a sorority. We dig a big hole and roast a couple pigs. We also have a big smoker going that we cook brisket on. We give all the money to Make-A-Wish. It is always a fun time. We recently had a benefit concert for the Katrina Relief effort. Had Waking Ashland and then some local bands come play. It was a really good concert and raised quite a bit for the relief effort. Another good one for the beginning of the year is to help freshman move into the dorms. They appreciate the extra hands and it is good publicity. We've recruited a couple guys by helping them move in. Those are just a few of the ones we do. If you want more let me know and I can get you some of our smaller ones.
