Starting the Year Right: Second Harvest

Last Tuesday, a group of five eager MBA students led the charge in the first Second Harvest service activity of the year. Consisting of Akeim George, Wesley Tseng, Alvin Zhang, Ivan Franco, and myself, we departed for the Second Harvest warehouse at 5:30PM. Although we got lost on the way there, we arrived intact and ready to work.

For the next two hours, we worked tirelessly, sorting over 5,000 pounds of cans into their constituent categories, which included Vegetables, Crackers, Snacks, and Meats, to name a few.

The next event will be on March 12th, and we hope that even more guys students join us for this fun filled event

Please enjoy the pictures taken at this event.

Loaves & Fishes ... Still Cookin'!

On Saturday, February 1, 20 MBA gentlemen rose early to cook the Loaves and Fishes Community Meal. The menu included baked ziti with sausage, green beans and bacon, cheesy mashed potatoes, tossed salad, and brownies with vanilla ice cream. Special thanks to Sr. Kamm and Mr. Villemain for their leadership and Sr. Kamm's advisory for joining the ranks to help serve Nashville's hungry.

Another Great Day at Fort Negley!

This past Saturday, a group of MBA students trekked to Fort Negley for a
morning of service. This group, small but determined, was able to
accomplish much in the three hours at Negley. From organizing the Negley
library, to creating trivia questions for elementary students, to cleaning
off signs throughout the park, the boys worked through the weather to get a
lot done. Great job boys!
