Spring 2009

Community service projects were plentiful this Spring. Palmer Spring President, Nadine Barragan also served as the president of Circle K and so the Actives had many activities to choose from. Projects varied from reading to kids and serving breakfast to seniors to the Shelter's Right Hand 5k Fitness Walk– stepping out against domestic violence. Fall should be equally busy with service.
