More than 30 new first-year and transfer students helped spruce up Brockport village parks to complete approximately two hours of community service before their first day of class.
Brockport Parks Committee member Hanny Heyen helps students from The College at Brockport weed, prune, and mulch Corbett Park for their Community Service Saturday of Service.Working in groups at Harvester Park and Corbett Park participants weeded gardens, did pruning and mulching and gave several areas a fresh look. Students said the Saturday of Service projects were great opportunities to get out in the fresh air before classes start. Katie Dubowski, a nursing major from Long Island said, “I joined (in the project) to meet new friends in my freshman year.”
Brockport Parks Committee members who helped were Hanny Heyen, Anita Wicks, and Sandi Henschel. There was also one adult volunteer from the college, retired Dr. Sri Ram Bakshi, and one volunteer from the village, Linda Ketchum.
