On April 23, students, and for the first time, faculty (a special thank you to Dean Jeff Joseph), volunteered their Saturday morning at Father Joe’s Village to help support the ‘Easter Special Meal.’ Father Joe himself said a prayer, which began a wonderful meal. This was a great opportunity to help those in need, while everyone walked away knowing they had made a difference in the lives of many, in just a few hours. From 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m., volunteers and Father Joe’s staff served over 1,000 meals.
The Student Bar Association would like to thank everyone who was able to come out and support the homeless and Father Joe’s Village. We would also like to encourage others, including students, professors, deans, and staff to volunteer their time for a great cause at future events. Father Joe’s is just a few blocks from campus and the community is always in need.
The weather was rough, and we burned through a whole bag of charcoal, but the Student Bar Association Intramural Volleyball Tournament and BBQ was a rousing success! Congratulations to Kristen Spees, Jason Keffler, and Team Spiked Punch on their amazing victory!
On Sunday April 17, students and friends congregated on the shores of Mission Beach to challenge each other to a double elimination, round-robin volleyball tournament. With sunblock and farmer tans all around the teams battled the elements of wind and cold. All the teams and their spirited spectators fought hard; however, they were no match for Spiked Punch and its band of beach volleyball behemoths. The teams then took some moments to savor their efforts over some burgers, hot dogs, and soda provided by the Student Bar Association.
The Student Bar Association would like to thank all of the participants for making this one of the most successful events of the year. Because of the professionalism and sportsmanship that his been on display all season, we are excited to bring more events such as this one to the students next year.
