Wingate University students create bowls for charity
11/5/2010
Wingate, NC – Students taking the freshmen-required Gateway 101 class at Wingate University are taking lessons outside of the classroom to help others.
Twenty-one students in the class created blue ceramic bowls of different sizes and shapes that will be sold to raise funds for Operation Reach Out in Monroe. The sale will be held Wednesday, Nov. 10 from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. in the Dickson Palmer Center on the University campus. The students will sell the bowls for $5 and the buyer will receive a box of cereal to go with the empty bowl.
Art professor Marilyn Hartness said peer mentors Anna Rogers and Meredith Gray came up with the idea for the class service project this year.
