Community Service

For our community service project, we decided to help out a dairy farmer with some basic yard work that he needed done. Six of us sophomores drove out to Sultan, Washington at 10 A.M. to see what we could do to help out. When we got there, Chris, the owner of the farm, showed us around and gave us our tasks. We were assigned to take down 200 yards of barbed wire fence. The job took us a total of 7 hours to complete because of the tedious process of taking out staples and rolling the barbed wire. We also had to use a tractor to take out the estimated 30 wood posts that were buried two feet into the ground. After a long day of work, it felt good to give back, even if it was just several hours of taking down a fence. We know we did some good for someone in need.

Taking care of business,
Justin Chavez
