Saturday, October 18 is the local American Heart Association Walk and the SON is
a vital part of this activity. Last year, we had the most walkers, raised the most
money and set the bar to a standard that will be hard to beat. In fact, the SON is
probably the group who will succeed in raising that bar. This walk is fun - children
and dogs are welcome - there are a lot of activities and fun for the children, pet
stations (last year dogs got their own doggie bags of treats). Heart associated problems
are some of the leading causes of death and illness in West Virginia. Walking and raising
funds for the AHA are ways we can make a strong statement of support in fighting this deadly
disease. Contact Roger Carpenter
Penny jars are located in the Dean's Suite - part of our fund raising efforts
for the American Heart Association. Have a few extra cents? Drop it into the jar
- it's faculty and staff vs. students. Last year, students won!
