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.
"That's the spirit of service."
