"Warmest Snow On Earth" Service Day

The college Student Ambassadors conducted a service project Saturday. They got together in the morning and spread out around Ephraim. 30 large projects were organized in advance. More students showed up than expected, so, some of the students started on the organized projects while the rest of them went door-to-door looking for additional projects. By the end of the day more than 100 families, mostly senior citizens, were helped with everything from leaf raking, window cleaning, vegetable gardening, wood chopping and stacking, winterizing and hauling off trash.

Every club on campus conducts a service project yearly. But the 30 ambassadors decided to do a super service project and they brought together 210 college students for their day of service. They dubbed it the Warmest Snow on Earth Service Day. And a warm day it was! At the end of the day I bumped into a senior gentleman who lives in Ephraim. He was extremely grateful for the work done on his yard. He told me the dozen students got more work done in a few hours than he could have completed in two weeks.

This kind of activity in a small town such as Ephraim, Utah, is felt by most of the residents. The ambassadors’ advisor, Amie Anderson, sent me the picture of these young ladies raking leaves. What a great day!
