As the JLP's 90th year comes to an end, the provisional class of new members organized a day of service to our past community partners and a picnic afterwards. 43 members volunteered for four hours with HEARTH, Vintage, the Thelma Lovette YMCA and The Pittsburgh Project. The
Independent Sector values the volunteer hour at $22.14, thus the League's members donated $3,808.08 in their time to furthering the mission of these community organizations.
I spent my day at The Pittsburgh Project to clean Fowler Park. Maddy Wahl, Jessi Simms and I dug a ditch that will help with flooding on the backside of the park. Jessi and Maddy were naturals with a shovel, and I wasn't about to let a torn meniscus stop me!

The end of the semester is finally here, and I'm glad to have my classes wrapping up. With one final assignment outstanding, my focus is on working with my Policy Implementation classmates to complete this team project. I've learned that the best way to convince my teammates to attend team meetings is to feed them! Tacos and brownies are on the menu for tonight.
