Younger Member Forum
|
On November 21, 2010 the ASCE Met Section Younger Member Forum participated in the Race to Deliver. Eight individuals braved the cold weather to run four miles in Central Park to help raise money for the God's Love We Deliver charity which is the tri-state area's leading provider of nutritious, individually-tailored meals to people who are too sick to shop or cook for themselves. This is a yearly event that the Younger Members have been participating in every year, so feel free to join us next year.
