BonaResponds News Coverage

From the Olean Times Herald:

"BonaResponds, a group from St. Bonaventure University formed to help victims of Hurricane Katrina, is planning several local service projects in preparation for return visits to Louisiana and Mississippi.

....BonaResponds will lead an effort to clean up Archbishop Walsh High School Friday...Work will begin at 1:30 p.m. at Archbishop Walsh and continue until 7 p.m. Community members are welcome to help with the effort. Volunteers can call (716)372-8122 to offer donations or learn more about the cleanup....

Dr. Mahar said BonaResponds will be painting, landscaping, putting in new ceiling tiles, and doing other odd jobs around the Walsh campus.

BonaResponds also plans a Sept. 16 service day in Allegany and Olean. Volunteers will help at sites in the village, the St. Elizabeth Motherhouse, along the Allegheny River Valley Trail and at the Bartlett House in Olean. Work will begin at 8:30 a.m. and will continue until early afternoon. Again, community volunteers are welcome to join BonaResponds.

“It will be much like a day in the Gulf,” Dr. Mahar said."

and of course we are going back! In early January and over spring break in March. Want to come? It will be GREAT!


Nice article! Two small problems--I am an assistant professor not associate (unless I got a promotion and no one told me ;) ) and I want to take more people in January than the article suggests but otherwise :)
