Tell Us Your Good Deed

I volunteer multiple times a year as a blood drive recruiter for the Heinlein Society. We participate with multiple hospitals in the metro Boston area, collecting donations from Science Fiction, Fantasy and Steampunk fans alike.

Why are you participating?

When people hear the terms "widow" or "disabled" they think "Oh, what a shame." I've never considered either status a reason to be pitied. These are things that have happened to me but do not define who I am.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

Trying to involve students in cultural awareness of the world.

Why are you participating?

This project will help the Nichols Community see its uniqueness as an exhibit in the new student center. I want to be part of the welcome we give to all visitors by being included in the exhibit and celebrating the arts at Nichols.
