Delzell The Clackamas Print Associated Student Government is at it again, this time throwing a tsunami fund raiser in the form of an all-cam pus barbecue. The event is slated for Jan. 26 at 11 a.m. in the Community Center courtyard. Nicholas Verducci, officer of campus activities, and Grant Bloomhahl, senator of campus activities, are in charge of the event. “We first thought of a barbe cue because of the impending blood drive,” Verducci said. “We wanted to offer a lunch to those who gave blood; we ended up changing the day of the barbecue to after the blood drive, giving students a chance to donate to the tsunami relief effort.” ASG will be teaming with the local chapter of Mercy Corps to distribute the donated funds. Mindy Brown, ASG advisor, knows that Mercy Corps will do an excellent job in distributing the donated funds. “We wanted to team with Mercy Corps to give the money,” Brown said. “They will distribute the money ... we presented the idea to the students and it was loud and clear that the students wanted to pick Mercy Corps. We feel real confident that they will distribute the donated money in a real good way.” ASG understands that college students usually do not have large amounts of money to donate, so they will be expecting any kind of monetary support one can give. “College students are broke,” said Verducci. “Students can donate what they can; if you don’t have a lot of extra money don’t worry about it. What stu dents don’t realize is that they do a lot more than donate money, they can donate their service or time to any kind of community service.” The barbecue will be run by the ASG ambassadors who will serve hamburgers, hotdogs,' chicken burgers, and Veggie burgers. The ASG students have a few other ideas in the works for tsunami fundraising, Verducci said. Speech takes first In a debate tourney at Columbia Hisni College in In-t Hies.
