Hello Brothers,
Here are upcoming community service opportunities! I hope to start the conversation about trying to go to one of them!
I think we should make it a priority to try to go to the commodity food boxing event on 12/6/14
We will be discussing these opportunities in the coming days so please plan to attend!
Fraternally,
David Adams
