Fall Sweep slated in the village

Fredonia’s Applied Communication Association (ACA) and Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) are co-hosting their 15th Fall Sweep on Saturday, Nov. 2.

The event is a part of the Office of Volunteer and Community Services’ “Days of Service,” in which students are given opportunities to get involved and give back to their community.

Fall Sweep begins at 9:30 a.m. with a breakfast in the Williams Center Multipurpose Room. Students will sign in, as well as have the opportunity to buy tickets for basket raffles and hear remarks from a couple of speakers.

Then, with their rakes and gloves ready, participants are released to help clear leaves from neighborhood lawns in the village. Residents can request that their lawns be raked by hanging the flyers distributed to the community on their door.

This fall, approximately 500 students have signed up to participate, as part of a club/organization or individually.

For those still interested in signing up for Fall Sweep, students can visit the Office of Volunteer and Community Services in the Williams Center and pick up participation forms, or contact Olivia Coccitto, president of ACA, via email. The deadline is Oct. 28. Students can also email Coordinator of Volunteer and Community Services Joyce Smith for more information regarding the event.
