Community Service Weekend Conceived and Coordinated by Tech Terrace Neighbor Melinda Corwin

Tech students put on honey-do fundraiser


Volunteers from the Texas Tech chapter of American Institute of Chemical Engineers will participate in a workday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 2 during which they will be available for one to six hours to plant flowers, pull weeds, wash cars, rake leaves, move large items to storage, clean out garages or rain gutters or complete other household chores in exchange for donations.

All proceeds from the workday will benefit the Stroke/Aphasia Recovery Program at the Health Sciences Center. Last year, chemical engineering students raised $4,000 for the therapy program.
