Socks, Socks, and more Socks

Socks, Socks, and more Socks! Please join the Office of Institutional Diversity and our co-sponsors: National Pan-Hellenic Council and Pan Hellenic Council in celebrating Older Americans Month by participating in our annual “Sock Drive”. Older Americans Month’s (celebrated in May since 1963), 2011 theme is “Older Americans: Connecting the Community).” Did you know that one in every eight or 12.9% of the population (or 39.6 million in 2009) is an Older American (65+)? or that 475,000 grandparents, aged 65 or older, had the primary responsibility for their grandchildren who live with them? Our office will be collecting NEW socks April 11^th- April 29^th. Please help us reach our goal of 500 NEW pairs of socks! Bring all NEW socks to Room 217 (Row Hall, East Wing) or place them in campus mail. All socks will be donated to local nursing homes in Carroll County during the month of May.
