Spotlight - the Center for Leadership and Volunteerism

      If ever you've ventured to the Caf or the Student Center in general, you may have noticed the office across from the Caf with the large windows. This is the Center for Leadership and Volunteerism. This office sends out the Helping Hand(out) through student email accounts, created by the Coordinator of Community Engagement, Chelsea Flieger. This newsletter gives various opportunities to volunteer throughout the community. For those of you involved in organizations who are looking to plan an event or even advertise for your own event, then you should consider using the CLV as a resource.
      Some events that the CLV are currently promoting:
      Sweaters, Pears and Teddy Bears – A collection of canned foods, college books, baby/maternity supplies, toy, and clothing drives, all hosted by various organizations will be wrapping up this week. Make sure you get all your donations in before the deadline! For more info, check out the latest issue of the Helping Hand(out) at: http://issuu.com/mercerclv/docs/helping_handout_issue_9?mode=window&backgroundColor=%23222222

       Porterfield Hospice Health & Rehabilitation Facility also needs volunteers for gardening and other minor outdoor task. Email lesley.haller@mmc1.net to volunteer.

      Happy last week of classes and good luck on finals!
