Spring 500

This past Sunday was beautiful- probably one of the nicest days of Spring, yet.  Still, about 100 Coe College students gathered to do some spring cleaning Sunday afternoon -- not their dorms but other places.

It was a part of our Spring 500 service project. We all worked alongside people in the Mound View neighborhood -- just east of Coe. With garbage and recycling bags in hand, we took to the neighborhood streets. Coe student and organizer of the event, Amanda Kohn, said it best, "It lowers crime rates, it makes the place look better. It makes you feel like somewhere you're proud to be and to live, to interact with each other."

Coe students are proud of their campus and the community that we all live in.  I was more than happy to partake in this event, and to help make the community clean.  The beautiful day gave me more of an incentive to get out there, walk around and enjoy the beautiful day- the only catch was picking up the occasional garbage and recycling I saw on the way.  Volunteering is a great way to get involved, meet new people, and feel good about yourself!  If you give to your community, it'll give back to you.

Great turn out of Deltas attending the Spring 500!
