activities and service projects.

donations

Bank for details on volunteering with them.
--A suggestion was made to publish a summary of LSA’s charitable activities
annually, in the LSA newsletter.
--Bake Sale: LSA has registered to participate in Share Our Strength’s Great American
Bake Sale; a portion of the proceeds will go to benefit organizations campaigning to end

--Report on the Student Appreciation Luncheon and the Ice Cream Social
--The Ben & Jerry’s ice cream was very popular. LSA will consider using
them in the future.
--Emily reported that, with the addition of the fruit and veggie trays, less
pizza will be needed next year than in years past. The fruit and veggie trays
were very popular with the students.
--LSA Book Club: Georgia author Carson McCuller’s novel, The Heart is a Lonely
Hunter is the first book chosen for the LSA Book Club.
Committee reports:
--LSA purchased two Target gift cards last month (one Target baby gift card, one
gift/wedding card). We also purchased some general use greeting cards for future
occasions.
--A suggestion was made to create a general LSA feedback survey (similar to the
charitable activities/service project survey). More discussion will take place concerning
this suggestion.
