Service committee takes early lead for committee of the semester sweepstakes

In a recent poll, the service council has jumped out to a commanding lead for the prestigious council of the semester award, previously held by the activities council. "We just want everyone to realize that the ward theme can apply to them and to discover that through losing themselves in service," says Todd Wilde, one of the council co-chairs. Well sometimes while losing yourself, you find someone who can make your life even better! A recent service council initiative know as "service dates" (not to be confused with pity dates) has really made a huge impact on a couple of lives.

Randy Gilliland and Krista Ahlstrom came together for a friday evening of flirty box decorating. Project uplift is a program designed to brighten the holidays for those men and women selflessly giving of themselves to serve in the armed forces. The cute couple decorated the packages that will be sent across the seas to these service men and women. The response was enthusiastically positive. If anyone wants to participate in project uplift just make a stop at the Y serve office in the wilkinson center.
