Sociology Club and AKD help with Community Center for Missionary Endeavor Fundraiser
Two department based student organizations participated in the Community Center for Missionary Endeavor (C.O.M.E.) Fundraiser on November 13, 2010. C.O.M.E. is working to construct a new headquarters that will only be half the size they had planned for, but the group hopes to expand the facility as more funds are raised. The C.O.M.E. organization has been serving Walker County since 1962, and provides financial assistance, emergency assistance and other programs to local families and other residents. Dr. Mary Ann Davis, AKD Advisor, received this letter of appreciation:

AKD Members Help Build Homes for Less Fortunate
With the instruction of Dan Philips, AKD members used recycled materials to construct homes for individuals that would otherwise not be able to afford them. Dan Philips is a Huntsville local that developed this idea and continues to work with local residents to help them acheive what they never thought possible: to become homeowners. By using recycled materials, that would otherwise be thrown away, the cost of building these homes is dramatically reduced, making them also much more affordable for their residents.
