Hood organizations raised over $150 and supplies for Hurricane Sandy relief efforts.<\/p>\n
Primarily, the organizations that are leading the disaster relief efforts are The Brotherhood, the first-year honors society Alpha Lambda Delta and the sophomore honors society The Ionic Society.<\/p>\n
\u201cWorking with the Sandy Relief Donation Drive we were easily able to reach beyond our local communi\u00adty during this time of need. Speaking on behalf of the members of Alpha Lambda Delta I am very pleased we were able to partner with the Ionic Society and The Brotherhood to col\u00adlect donations for those affected by Sandy,\u201d adviser to Alpha Lambda Delta Christine Malone said.<\/p>\n
Everyday for the past two weeks, students of the organizations have set up a table in Whitaker ask\u00ading students for either monetary do\u00adnations or supplies to send to relief efforts.<\/p>\n
Along with the money raised, the organizations also received am\u00adple donations of gloves, trashbags, cleaning supplies, and other items necessary to help with cleaning and sanitation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am very proud that The Ionic Society was able to help in an effort that extends Hood and goes into the community<\/p>\n
While Hood and the Frederick Community was hit with Hurricane Sandy resulting in power outag\u00ades, floods, and downed trees, other communities in different parts of the country were extremely damaged by the storm.<\/p>\n
The two honors societies packed up the supplies to ship them out be\u00adfore Thanksgiving Break.<\/p>\n
Ionic Society, The Brother\u00adHood, and Alpha Lambda Delta participated in several other service events this past year. For example, the Ionic Society helped to work the Red Cross blood drive in October.<\/p>\n
All three organizations are plan\u00adning other service events and drives in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
