Many projects have been carried out in the Fall 1999 semester. This newsletter is to infortn you of the events which have occurred and to invite you to share your ideas for new events in the Spring, or to get involved in projects which are already occurring. Newman can only be successful if you, the Catholic community, make it so. So please come and join us to help make a difference. This semester volunteering has been a major focus, whether it is for the homeless, the elderly, or for the sick.
Students aid the elderly in nursing homes, by going and visiting.
The commitment is weekly or bi-weekly, and the students have really brightened up the lives of those elderly people whom they have visited. Students have been aiding the homeless throughout the semester. Students have made a variety of baked goods, which have been taken to local homeless shelters. Students also collect pennies around the holiday season which are then also donated to the homeless shelters. Some students have gone to Ronald McDonald House to cook for the families of severely ill children there.
