Photos from spring 2009 SAAC community service projects. The north region helped clean up at My School: Cazenovia Children's House, Inc., while the south region brightened up the grounds at a local nursing home - The NEAC SAAC planted pansies in individual pots and presented each resident at the nursing home with a pot. Both the north and south regions lent helping hands by doing some groundskeeping at their sites.

The north region SAAC was able to get together, but could not do the community service due to a snow storm the night before in Cazenovia. The south region SAAC had a beautiful day at Penn State - Berks at the local nursing home.

 

When the ground thawed in Cazenovia, a group of SAAC members from Cazenovia went to complete the job at the children's home. Penn State - Harrisburg SAAC advisor, Mark Brown, and Penn State - Berks' Mike Ferrente rake the garden around the gazebo on the back lawn.

 

Megan Pomarico and Heather Morgan help cart away the leftover leaves from the fall. Chris Madden from Penn State - Berks and NEAC Intern, Jason Gramling, spruce up the gardens at the main entrance of the home.

 

Emilie Welch, Megan Pomarico, and Heather Morgan take a break from raking to smile for the camera. Anastasia Fella and Kaitlin Burud from College of St. Elizabeth (front), Sam Vance and Colleen O'Reilly from Wilson (back left), and Amanda Basile and Toan Ngo from Penn State - Harrisburg (back right) plant some pots of marigolds to give to the residents.
Craig Smith and Alyssa Lubeck work hard to dig holes for the legs of a vegetable garden base. Caitlin Campion from Penn State - Berks re-paints the design in the center of the gazebo.
Craig Smith uses a wheelbarrow to fill the vegetable garden with dirt so the kids can start planting right away. Penn State - Berks SAAC advisor, June Brown, works hard on the garden around the gazebo as she gets ready to plant one of the many new flowers on the property.
