ACA Volunteers: The Sequel!

On April 10th, 2015, another band of ACA members took to the community and volunteered their time at the Capital Area Food Bank. Big, Huge THANK YOU to Christine Anderson who so smoothly organized us for another successful community service event!

Our wonderful, and hilarious, volunteer trainer. He's about to break the news that we're sorting frozen meat today...




This is what Rose thinks about the prospect of sorting frozen meat.













Jinane, being ULTRA sassy!












I got to help break down boxes, and use the scary/fun cardboard compressor. Luckily, the experience wasn't as gruesome as this warning label!


But my fingers got awfully close to the machine! Eep!


Also, I was so excited about the cardboard cruncher, that I took a video of it in action. Note my exclamation of delight throughout as basically nothing happens.  





Donations are sorted in some pretty neat crates!


More banana boxes! Watta banana model!




Our ACA volunteers, still smiling after the meat encounters. 

Thank you to all who came out to volunteer! We look forward to more community service opportunities with ACA in the future!







ACA Skate Nite!

On March 24th, 2015, some fun-loving advisors from ACA got together for skating and good social times at the Playland Skate Center. Thanks to the FUNdraising Committee for organizing this super fun event and living up to the capitalized portion of their committee name!

Guess what, you guys? Taking action shots on skates is hard. Blurry photos ensued. Enjoy?


That's a glittering disco skate on the ceiling. Like everything else on the rink, it was constantly moving.

I call this composition: Skates, Blades, and Skates in a Time Warp. 
Delisa Lee, sporting them most awesome skating sweatband I've ever seen!!

Josh Barham, excited by the sights and sounds of Playland. 




Kelly Frazer, clearly delighted by Josh's delight. 



"Skating is madness!!!"
"Madness, I say!!!"

Good times were had! Even by those of us who scraped both our knees while getting a little ambitious with the skating (what adult scrapes both their knees, I ask you??).
