Tucker Program: Habitat for Humanity, SEAD
History with Tucker: "I volunteered with SEAD and started volunteering for Habitat for Humanity my sophomore year. I became a Habitat Chair junior year, and now this year I have been the student director."
What Tucker Means to Me: "Tucker is a huge resource. Without the Tucker Foundation acting as an organizational umbrella for so many service programs on campus, students would be lacking in so many important volunteer opportunities."
1. SPRING FLING: Congrats to BBBS, ASPIRE, GENERATIONS, DREAM and everyone else who participated in the Spring Fling last Friday. It was a huge success and a grand event. Many thanks especially to Julia Sooy and the amazing team who coordinated the whole event!
2. SPECIAL OLYMPICS: What an AMAZING event this past Saturday! Hats off to all of the athletes, volunteers and community members who competed, helped out and cheered! Special thanks to Amanda Hua '12, Games Director, and the entire management team for all of their efforts to make this important event go off without a hitch!
I'll be around intermittently this Wednesday and next Tuesday and Wednesday, but I have lots of meetings, so it may be hard to catch me. But Tucker is doing a little something Wednesday, May 23rd at noon and I'd love to be able to say bye! Pop over to Tucker if you can.
When you walk into the convenience store and a bag of potatoes chips is a dollar, and a salad is six, which are you going to buy?"
The Manchester, NH Dept. of Public Health is piloting a new initiative to get more healthy foods into corner stores and bodegas in the city. "The initiative, called Manchester Healthy Corner stores, is a bid to get the healthy stuff – the bananas and sunflower seeds – into these local stores and put them front and center."
