Service Auctions have been the cause of many strange happenings in the almost 15 years they have been going on, but the purpose is to raise money for a local charity.
Students offer various services, which are bid on by other students.
This year, services included dates, a best friend for a day, cookies, a jello-mud wrestling contest, foot rubs and computer help. Dorm leadership teams also often offer additional incentives for bids. Several students who live in RVD volunteer at Baxter every week. The Service-Learning Center coordinated the service end of the auctions. Senior Holly Nyenhuis explained the different options for service to the dorms, and the dorms pick which agency to donate to.
