The team has set some pretty lofty goals for themselves on the volleyball court, but they also have some big goals away from volleyball. One of those is for every member of the team to earn a spot on the community service honor roll. To qualify they need to volunteer for at least 100 hours of community service. Freshmen Marcey DeHaan commented, "It's our goal this year because it's important for us to use our extra time to serve others and help them get done with things quicker and in more efficient ways."
So far this season we have been working hard on this goal. We volunteered at the Davenport golf outing and helped new DU students move into their rooms for the start of school. We also have maintained a relationship with the organization
Women at Risk. We absolutely love this organization and what it does. We try to volunteer there a couple times a year. During preseason we went to their new warehouse and worked on various projects. Marcey adds her thoughts about the projects we have already done this year. "We have done the golf outing and helped out at W.A.R. Both were fun. Being outside all day at the golf outing and interacting with different people was great. We also enjoyed helping out W.A.R. with their projects. We organized packages and counted cards. It was a lot of work for our team and I can't imagine them doing it by themselves. We were glad to help out."
Here's some pictures from our time there.
