Community Service Fall 2007


Food Bank  

 Assisted in accompanying a fellow food bank volunteer and gathering donations from local groceries. These markets include Vons, Albertsons, and Ralphs. Bread was the primary donation from these stores. This bread would first be categorized, boxed, and then returned to the food bank warehouse. The bread was then unloaded, mounted on a scale, and documented by form of weight. Lastly, the categorized bread was allocated to different areas within the food bank. Some of this bread is donated to other agencies that cater to less fortunate. However, much of this bread is transported to various locations within the Santa Barbara area and distributed to needy families by other volunteers.

 Family Banquet 2007

   The theme of the evening is to honor the accomplishments of the club members.  To inform their families of the significant time and effort required to complete the lower division requirements for engineering, science, and math majors before transferring to a University.  The significant rewards and opportunities that come with a Bachelors or Graduate degree in these majors.  Also, to celebrate our members who are transferring on to other Universities.  Five or our members will be transferring this year.

This years guest speakers include:  Superintendent/President of Santa Barbara City Collge, John Romo, Assemblymember Pedro Nava, SBCC SACNAS Faculty advisor's, Dr. Nick Arnold and Virginia Estrella and our keynote speaker Director of Engineering at Raytheon, Frederick R. Lopez.
