Each year a different project is developed and assigned . In 1995 the community project was building the Fox River park. Clarke Street School was the project for 1996 and 1997. The program has been expanded to include several schools in the Milwaukee inner-city area. The program is similar to the toy drive in that everyone in the business can participate by choosing a backpack with a child s name and providing certain school supplies.
Participation is once a year and is very much a family event.
FALL Volunteers are needed several times a year to answer phones for the station s pledge drives to support the operation of the station. Time required is usually four hours one evening at each pledge drive. Participation comes from everyone in GE with the purchase of gifts or donations. The 2000 New Initiate Representative organizes the new initiate Elfuns each year around the concept of community service. The new initiates will brainstorm activities and concentrate on one or two projects to focus their energies.
