I love to volunteer, and MSU provides many, many opportunities to give your time. A few weeks ago, a group of 50 students or so, woke up nice and early and hiked up to the town's mountain "M". (Basically, just a gigantic M painted on a mountain) With 60 gallons of bright white paint, we gave it a nice looking, much needed facelift. A few weeks before, the M was vandalized, painted red, yellow and green, so there was a lot of work to be done. I was not so psyched about waking up that early on a saturday, but it was worth it for sure! The hike was beautiful! It was a beautiful, sunny day and every volunteer was given a free T-shirt (who doesn't love free T-shirts?) and lunch! It was a lot of fun and I met some really cool people in the process! The M is repainted by MSU students twice a year to keep it looking bright and sparkly:-) Even my grandpa painted the M when he was a student at MSU 62 years ago!
~In the picture: A few guys were kiting, and took off right above the M! They were really fun to watch! You can see some of the red and yellow that we were painting over too.
