On Saturday November 10, 2012, the sisters of the Zeta
Omicron chapter of Tau Beta Sigma volunteered their time to helping a professor
in the music department with yard work that he and his wife are unable to
complete on their own.
Upon our arrival, professor and honorary member, James
Sochinski and his wife had Carol Lee donuts, coffee, juice, and water for us.
(Side note: Those donuts are the best donuts I’ve ever had!) After we got a
small bite to eat, Professor Sochinski showed and explained what he wanted us
to do. Among the tasks at hand were raking leaves, raking pine needles,
collecting pinecones, cleaning out the gutters, and tilling a section of the
front yard. While completing the various tasks, sisters were able to talk,
laugh, and have fun all while providing a service to a person so important to
the music department. When we were finished, Professor Sochinski was so
thankful and happy with the results of our work. The smile on he and his wife’s
faces made the soreness of the following couple of days completely worth it.
Service is so special in that way; the gratitude of the people you help is
forever the motivation that keeps you going no matter the difficulty of the
task at hand.
