Virtual Attendees: Kara Wright, Sam Shelton, Avery Adams Introduction: All members present
introduced themselves.

Fall Semester Service Event:

• Kara and I went to Master Provisions, a local nonprofit that serves people in need locally and
  internationally, where we sorted and bagged clothes. This effort was estimated to help 400 people
  in Kentucky and beyond.
• Dr. Olberding also came, so it was nice to have an MPA faculty member show up.
  

Spring Semester Service Event:

���������ϲʼ�¼���� hosts a campus-wide MLK Day of Service. In order to participate, you have to individually
register. There will probably be a box that asks if you are part of a student organization. Make
sure you put “Public Administration Student Society” so that way we can all (hopefully be assigned
to the same group)

More information should be coming from the Office of Student Engagement within the next week. I
emailed to ask and they confirmed the event was happening, so now we just have to wait for
date/time/location.

Here is an EXAMPLE of how it went last year:

• 9:15am to 9:30am – Check-In in the Student Union Ballroom
• 9:45am – Welcome and program honoring Dr. King
• 10:30 am – Break into groups and travel to service locations
• 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. – Service projects

Meeting Adjourned: 5:50 PM
