News and Events

ELA first meeting scheduled for: We will meet on a Saturday in February. February 7th or 21th?

First Project: “I need some volunteers to help with marking storm drains. We thought this would be a great community service project because it is easy, takes little time and impacts the environment in our local area.”

Area: We will probably be working on a neighborhood in the Ridgeland area but it's not for sure yet.
“We have lots of stuff to do, and with everyone's help, we are looking forward to a productive semester.” “If you are interested, please get back to me ASAP.” – Kat Van Buskirk.
