I NEWS The Battalion I 4.1.15 5 Big Event service continues Provided Members of The Big Event organization are working to complete unfinished job sites. By Lindsey Gawlik Just because The Big Event took place Satur day doesn’t mean its work is over. The approximately 300-person organization will send staff assistants and executive members to job sites for the next few weeks until they feel the commu nity is selflessly served, said Kevin Brooks, The Big Event director and manage ment senior. “We try to serve all the residents who we promised we would serve,” Brooks said. “Sometimes we fall short, but if we can and if we have the manpower, we serve all the jobs we possibly can.” Brooks said The Big Event is trying its hardest to go to unfinished or unvisited job sites and implored unsat isfied residents to email The Big Event to make its mem bers aware of what needs to be done. Riley DuPuy, recruit ment executive and indus trial distribution senior, said unfortunately every year some people don’t show up to The Big Event and their assigned job sites slip through the cracks. The organization wants to complete the re maining 20 to 25 jobs. “This happens every year,” DuPuy said. “A hand ful of jobs don’t get done, or maybe they aren’t done well by students and so we take it upon ourselves to go fix the problems that have occurred and make an effort to serve every resident that’s signed up and show them we want to serve them.” Tanner Button, The Big Event staff assistant and fi nance senior, went out to one of the residents, Dana Wacasey, to whom no stu dents were sent Saturday. While doing a final job check with his Big Event partner. Button realized they had time to lend a hand on their own. “Dana was one of our waitlist job sites as a staff partnership, so with waitlist jobs we are not sure if we will have the students to go out there on the day of The Big Event,” Button said. “So we did the job checks last week and we realized she re ally needed help around the house.” It was an incredible ex perience, Button said, and it was great to see how thank ful Wacasey was that they came after The Big Event festivities ended. “It was fim just trying to carry on what The Big Event was trying to do and helping and saying thank you to local residents that go beyond just the day of The Big Event,” Button said. LETTER TO THE EDITOR A 'thank you' to The Big Event ■ ow about those Aggies! LgJ For well over 20 years we I have participated as recipients in I The Big Event, each year with great success. This year was no different. The crew from Schuhmacher Hall went above and beyond our expectations. They tore down two old sheds and hauled off the debris in good time. These Ags were well-mannered and professional. They were team-oriented and well organized, courteous, tenacious in the work and very thorough. They ensured tjjfit all our needs were met and did a fantastie-jolvofiu cleaning up. They even used their own 4^ vehicles to haul the old materials away. It’s been a long time since I have wit nessed such teamwork. Each one working diligently with the others all while treating each other with dignity and respect. That makes me proud to be a part of the Aggie family and a member of this community. Of course each year when the job is done we take a picture of the team just before the traditional ringing of the bell. A special thanks to the Big Event and especially this year to Schuhmacher Hall. Susan and I extend our sinperest gratitude! a?. v.
