"Walk With Me" Service Opportunity This Saturday

This Saturday (Oct 9), Easter Seals of West Alabama will be hosting their annual "Walk With Me" event. This event is a 1.5 mile "fun walk" that helps Easter Seals raise money to assist people suffering from disabilities. Participants are paired with a child or adult who is suffering from a disability and has received support from Easter Seals. As with most fundraising events, participants can form teams and takes pledges to raise money.

So what does this have to do with Honors College (other than being an awesome event that it very much in line with the Honors College tenant of service)? One of our Freshman Year Experience interns, Fernanda Lima, has been working tirelessly to set up opportunities for Honors College students to volunteer at the event. Any student interested in helping out is asked to be at the Park at Manderson Landing from 8:30-12:30. For most of you, that's an easy walk from your dorm!

Honors students will be doing the following...

• Monitoring the course
• Helping with clean-up activities after the event
• Participating in the walk

This really will be a great way for you to get involved in the Tuscaloosa community while helping out with a great cause at the same time. For more information and specific meeting instructions for Saturday morning, email Fernanda at fvlima@crimson.ua.edu.
