Students and staff get into the holiday spirit and donate to Community Leadership’s Giving Tree

Because this was the first year Community Commission and Teen Commission collaborated on the event, there were a couple of logistical issues. Community Commissioners found themselves tied up, starting this project right after finishing the food drive. Due to some communication lapses, the boxes for donations were only delivered on Dec. 3, even though the event started on Dec. 1.
"I don’t know [if] we’ve ever really done anything community service-wise [as a staff]," Johnson said.
Community Commission also agrees that this year’s event, though a trial run, was pretty successful.
"For trying this the first time as an experiment, I think it went well," Community Commissioner sophomore Manvita Tatavarthy said. "Next year, people can build on what we did. Next year’s commission can do it how we did it, and maybe they can figure out a way to improve."
Improvement or not, many more will come to realize what Community Leadership already has. It is all about giving and receiving.
