SAM Members at the SJSU Day of Service - Dave Cole - Jay Patel - Anna Mendez - Cecilia Melgar - Hiwat AbebeYou probably couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day to spend in the city of San Jose - and that’s just what a few of us SAM members did today to help out our community. The 2nd Annual San Jose State University Day of Service kicked off Friday, April 25th, and SAM was in attendance with several members - Jay Patel, Hiwat Abebe, Dave Cole, Cecilia Melgar, and Anna Mendez.

2nd Annual Day of Service - Guadalupe Park CleanupFor this year’s event, we were chosen to help clean up the river area by the Guadalupe Park Riverwalk, stretching all the way from Highway 280 down to HP Pavilion. Sure we got a little dirty, but the results of our efforts were well worth the while - we filled an entire pickup truck bed with trash that we collected down just one small stretch of the river. It’s amazing how much garbage collects that we don’t even notice!

SAM Members at the 2nd Annual SJSU Day of ServiceAfter we finished our clean up efforts, we returned to San Jose State for an afternoon barbeque, as well as some fun and games. Overall, it was a very worthwhile event and we’re proud to represent not only the SAM organization, but also our university and the community we call our home. Make sure to keep an eye out for another event next year!
