NO GIMMICK Page 2 The Battalion Tuesday, March 2,1993 The Big Event Community to benefit from Aggie volunteers By MATARI JONES The Battalion For the eleventh year in a row, Bryan-College Station will benefit from the nation's largest single-day community service project - The Big Event. "The Big Event builds unity and camaraderie," said Nicole Newber ry, director of the Big Event. "It feels good to know that you've done something good for somebody else." The Big Event is a cooperative event where A&M volunteers per form community services such as painting houses and cleaning up yards and highways. This year's event is March 27. Newberry said The Big Event is a way to thank Bryan-College Sta tion for the year-round support the community has given to A&M stu dents. Elissa Love, sub-chairman of campus publicity for the Big Event, said students benefit from The Big Event as well. "To give is to receive," she said. "Although we are not paid mone tarily, we are paid through thankfulness and appreciation." "It feels good to know that you've done something good for somebody else." -Nicole Newberry Big Event Director Chris Kryzak, assistant director of campus publicity for the Big Event, said their main goal is to get as many students involved as possi ble. However, participation doesn't seem to be a problem since more than three thousand students are expected to participate - including representatives from the Aggie Wranglers, Corps of Cadets, Gay and Lesbian Student Services and Greek community. The participants give a little bit of themselves by helping others, Newberry said. Students say the Big Event is fun but rewarding work too. "I heard it's a lot of fun", said Jennifer Johnson a first-year Big Event participant. "It's a great chance to give back to the community because you never know when you'll need help." Liz Johnson another first-year Big Event participant agreed. "You can't take something without giving back." People within the community submit job requests to The Big Event's organizing committee. Then, the committee assigns groups of people to particular jobs. "We're off to a great start already with over 100 job requests," Love said. Local businesses and merchants play a big part in the Big Event by providing supplies, equipment and advertising in addition to drop-off sites for the job requests. • ' ^ "It's nice to know you can do something for others," Love said.
