Community Service Highlights

 Several individuals do various community service events on their own, but we try to do a few together as a team.  One of those was the Crop Walk to help raise money and awareness for food insecurities in our community.  This Spring in celebration of Earth Day, most of the College campus participated in Green Up Day, and our team chose a path between the the Athletic Complex and up through the main part of campus to clean up.  I don't think we had any pictures of us doing the Community Supper this year, nor of individuals with their "community friends" from town.  Some others help with mentoring of various different ages of local students and I'm sure I'm missing other activities as well...giving back is really important and is a win-win, especially in small, tight-knit community like Middlebury.

Small Group Dinners at Coach's House

I'm not a chef, and it's a bit hard for me to cook for the entire team and have it turn out ok, so I try to invite smaller groups out for dinner at my house over the course of our off-season.  This year, we had two groups and left out the seniors since I  take them out to dinner during Senior Week every year!

Our first group chose to make "design your own pizzas" with some various different items.  One was good old peperoni, and one had some veggies no cheese, and one re-created a local favorite of Apply, Bacon, Cheddar...and theirs was JUST as good as Flatbread!!

The other group had tacos.  Since we forgot to take pictures of our tacos (and they're less creative than make your own pizza), we took a picture with my chickens instead! Steph in particular was enthralled with our remaining 3 chickens, especially "Ginger" who she named and is holding here!  FUN TIMES!
