Random acts of kindness are not just a paper that students write for Dr. Pelley’s Psychology class. They should be a way of life. People need to slow down their busy lives and take a little time to be kind to their fellow man.

Congratulations to Stephanie Breeden, Tina Owens, Emily Grady, Melody Cox-Keith, Thomas Barker, and Joel Gossner. They are the winners of this semester’s Habitat for Humanity parking space raffle. The raffle raised $500, more than double the result of the group’s fundraising efforts last year.
TWC’s Habitat group is about more than the distance from your car to class, though. Not only do they raise funds to help McMinn Habitat for Humanity build houses for those in need, but they also participate in the building themselves. They have assisted with building several houses in the past and are continuing to contribute time, effort, and enthusiasm this year. Their goal for the future is a house completely built by TWC volunteers and fundraisers. The parking space raffle will occur every semester, and another exciting, unique fundraiser is in the works for next semester as well.
TWC Habitat for Humanity is interested in working with other groups on campus that would like to assist in building houses. Any sports team or campus group can join them in working on a house. Service Learning credit is available for anyone who participates. If you are a member of a group that would like to participate, or if you would like to join on your own, please contact Dr. Willhite (Fisher 118, willhite@twcnet.edu). Habitat normally meets the third Thursday of the month at 11:45 in Glen Lowe. Their next meeting will be September 23.

The TWC Math Club wanted to celebrate Pi Day, which is March 14 (3.14). Unfortunately, however, that was on Sunday this year. Instead, they celebrated two days later on Tuesday. A stand was set up outside Townsend Hall, where the Math faculty reside. Cupcakes, cookies, and other sweets were sold to raise money for the Math Club.
The main event of the day, however, was throwing pies. Three faculty members volunteered to be targets – Dr. Brown, Dr. Pelley, and Mr. McLaughlin. Continue Reading »
