Updated on the Service Project

So I went home this weekend and I took a good look at all the things my family didn't need in their house. And so I took eight or nine pillows that I figured pets could use for bedding. They aren't new by any means. But I figured that since they were for the animals, items that were more used would still be welcome. In my search, I also came upon a ton of old towels. And although towels weren't on the list for the kennel at the shelter, I figured towels could always have some good use to them. So I filled a trash bag full of these towels, and they are currently in the back of my car. Along with that, I found some old rugs that were not nice enough for people, but that might be suitable for the pets to lay on. So i brought a few of those. And last but not least, I found some dog leashes, collars and pet shampoo. This is just my own personal contribution. And I will be stopping by PetSmart this week, as well as HEB to deliver the letter asking for donations. I recently made a great contact with the lady that works as secretary for the HEB by Incarnate Word University. So we'll see how far my networking skills can take me. And hopefully, I will be able to bring a few friends of mine to assist at the shelter. I am President of Alpha Lambda Delta, the honor society for first-year students at the University, and I'd like to bring my fellow officers into this project so that we may bond.
Lastly, we decorated our posters today in the graphics room. I was a major contributor of one poster. And hopefully, if I can find the time, I'd like to sneak back into the graphics room sometime this week so that I may make a giant poster to put up in the HSS Building. We shall see if that works out. I am really looking forward to this project, and I think it's going to be a great success!
