Christmas on the NACC Campus Includes
Giving to Others
Northeast Alabama Community College is in the Christmas spirit.
Teaming up with Christmas Charities, Northeast Alabama Community
College recently collected numerous gifts and food items for
seven families in the surrounding area. Coordinated by the NACC
Student Government Association, many organizations, students,
faculty, and staff joined to give back to the community and make
this Christmas a brighter season for each of these families. In
addition to the presents bought for these families, a canned
food drive yielded over 1,400 cans to be dispersed among them
and the Upper Sand Mountain Parish in Sylvania.
Student Government Association Sponsor,
Joan Reeves, commented on the event saying, “Christmas is that
time of year that we stop and think of all of our blessings and
want to share with others. I am proud of the students at NACC
who have so generously given of their time and money to ensure
that others have a special Christmas.”
The project was coordinated by a committee
appointed by the Student Government Association (SGA). This
committee included Matthew Hubbard, chair; Kyle Putman and John
Stubblefield. Other organizations at NACC who participated in
this effort were Phi Theta Kappa (Sponsor, Brad Fricks), Sigma
Kappa Delta (Sponsor, Joan Reeves), Mu Alpha Theta (Sponsor,
Sharon Totten), Presidential Hosts (Sponsor, Susan Barron),
Chorus and Encore (Sponsor, Kathy Adkins), Able Student Alliance
(Sponsor, Rita Ivey), Yearbook (Sponsor, Carolyn Jones), and SGA
(Sponsor, Joan Reeves) as well as individual students, faculty,
and staff. Without the donations of these organizations, the
Student Government would not have been able to sponsor as many
families.
