Talk about going forth to serve! Sadie Stone ’07, is in her second year with AmeriCorps NCCC and leading her own nine-member team, Wolf 3. So far, she’s trained as a woodland firefighter, worked on the Mississippi Gulf Coast with Habitat for Humanity, fought invasive species in the Delaware National Estuarine Research Reserve, rebuilt and finished homes for elderly/disabled families who were victims of contractor fraud in New Orleans, and moved President Calvin Coolidge’s personal artifacts from his attic to a new museum and cleared and weeded hedgerows at the President Calvin Coolidge State Historic Site in Plymouth, Vt. – and that’s just a sampling.

As of her last report, she was in Bayou La Batre, Alabama, living at a church and working at the Bay Area Food Bank sorting and compiling 40-pound boxes of food for families living in 22 counties stretching across Alabama, Mississippi and the Florida panhandle.

Selfless service like hers deserves an encouraging word – drop her a line via the “comments” link, por favor.
