Charity:Water

Tracy Gindrat — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 04:29:16 +0100

The Montgomery Village management team, Asset Campus Housing, has decided to make a difference in the lives of others. By giving back, we are bringing water to people in Ethiopia, one sip at a time.

Charity:Water is a non-profit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations. All operating costs are covered by private donors so that every cent raised goes directly to water projects. 100% of what you raise will continue to provide clean drinking water to people in need. For more information about this amazing opportunity, please visit Charity:Water.

As a company, Asset raised over $26,000 in the fall. Every dollar raised has been sent straight to building wells in Africa. This semester, we would like to reach out to our residents and ask them to donate to this amazing cause. To donate, please visit ACH Charity:Water.

Let's make a difference!

SHSU to Host 9/11 Memorial

Tracy Gindrat — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 03:44:12 +0100

On Sept. 11, 2001, many Americans witnessed something that had never happened in their lifetimes: a large-scale attack by a foreign entity on American soil.

As the 10th anniversary of the attack that changed the country approaches, Sam Houston State University will commemorate the nearly 3,000 lives lost, including responders, in the four airplane crashes.

The event—which will include the Walker County Sheriff’s Office, the University Police Department, the Huntsville Police Department, the Huntsville Fire Department, Walker County Constable’s Office, Emergency Medical Services, and the Department of Public Safety—will be held on Friday, Sept. 9, from 9:45-10:10 a.m. in Bearkat Plaza.

“We wanted to host the event on Sept. 9 instead of the actual date because we want people to remember the event throughout their weekend and to give special recognition on Sept. 11,” said Maggie Collum, director for university events. “This event has touched the lives of all Americans, and we don’t want to take away from the memorial services that will be held all over the nation on Sept. 11, but instead we want it to begin a weekend of remembrance.”

SHSU’s commemoration event will include performances by the SHSU band, a welcome and recognitions by university President Dana Gibson, the presentation of colors by the SHSU Army ROTC, and a city perspective by Huntsville Mayor Jay Turner.

In addition, cannons will be fired at the times when the World Trade Center Towers were hit (8:46 and 9:01 a.m., respectively), when the Pentagon was hit (9:45 a.m.), when the first tower fell (9:59 a.m.), when the airplane crashed in Pennsylvania (10:03 a.m.), and when the second tower fell (10:28 a.m.).

Commemorative bracelets also will be handed out throughout the week.
