Soup4Seniors Service Project
On February 7th, we served at the Soup for seniors event put on by the LOA (Local Office on Aging). We sorted canned soups, canned meats, canned fruits/veggies, crackers, cereals, etc. which had been donated and checked through and packed them into bags to send to the elderly. Above is a picture of the chicken soup can pile!!!! It was a fun event to help the seniors.
Rescue Mission Service Project
On January 31st, we gathered at the Rescue Mission to serve the homeless people there. We peeled, and cut a vast quantity of potatoes for that evening's dinner. It was a fun experience to hang out and serve.
Speaker - January 10, 2020
In January, Mr. Chris Ronk came to speak to us about finances and how students our age can get started thinking about savings, investments, and budgeting. He showed us a few spreadsheets, which showed the value of interest gained from investments, and some other intriguing slides, including a calculator which showed the weight of minor, unnecessary charges, and how they reduce the amount of one's retirement savings significantly. He exhorted us to start considering money early in life, so that we can have plenty of savings when we come to retirement. It was an inspiring and educational talk!
