A Day of Service at Flaherty Center
Date: 9/23/2009
Machias - Saturday August 29th incoming students at the University of Maine in Machias donated their time to a day of service which provided local agencies with volunteer helping hands for the day. Child and Family Opportunities which runs the Flaherty Early Care and Education Center located on the UMM campus, was a recipient agency of the UMM day of service volunteers. Despite the rain, 15 student volunteers worked with the CFO Facilities Coordinator to install embedded tires in the Flaherty playground. The tires define the different areas of the playground and help keep children safe, as well as being fun to climb over, sit upon, and play with. A big "Thank You!" to everyone who rolled up their sleeves, donned their wet weather gear, and worked to complete this project.
