Heritage Week Community Service Project

Heritage Week Community Service Project
Friday, March 9
3:30pm to 7:30pm
Dinner provided

You are invited to join the Heritage Week Community Service Project!

Join students, faculty and staff for an afternoon of service at the Tubman Family Alliance http://www.tubmanfamilyalliance.org on Friday, March 9, from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. We'll depart UST at 3:30 and after spending time at the center we will return to campus for dinner and reflection.  This is a great way to learn more about the Twin Cities community and live the St. Thomas conviction of gratitude.  Gratitude encourages us to celebrate the achievements of all members of the St. Thomas and Twin Cities community in goals attained and obstacles overcome, and in all things give praise to God.
