Day of Caring

While IS “cares” each and every day … some of our colleagues joined in the university’s “Day of Caring” efforts to support the United Way. On Wednesday, September 8 a group of staff members from our Production unit joined other faculty, administration, and staff from across the university to “improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of communities around the world to advance the common good.” 

Our folks were assigned to work in Nielsen’s Grove Park, near the Walmart in Orem and just east of the interstate. Their work included: weeding, putting down wood chips in the playground area, mulching and putting down sod around trees, and the one that gets my respect pulling masking tape off from underneath picnic tables.

Way to represent - Suzy, Scott, Michael B, Jonathon, Daniel, and Ryan B.!


Bet they never forget to pull the masking tape off the picnic tables  when they go picnicking!

Kind of ironic...Scott in front of the camera...and Michael Brousseau behind the camera. Scott laying sod and preparing trees for mulch and wood chips.
