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.

State - Berks' Mike Ferrente rake the garden around the gazebo on
the back lawn.
