The Bonners who implemented the drives and those who donated made this Christmas brighter for many area residents. It's hard to remember the long days of summer whole snow still covers the ground. It's the perfect time, though, to start researching summer placements. Summer placements can be competetive and many other have application deadlines in late February or late March. Bonner who begin researching early have a better chance of finding ones that match their service interests and their summer schedule.

The Bonner Office can help. In addition to a walth of experience from upperclassmen, the office has a directory of organizations seeking seasonal volunteer work. The internet can also be a vast resource in the search for summer servitude. Sites are as specific as the student's needs. Placements can be customized by date, location, gender and background.
