Hey it’s Kiley giving you the low-down.
It’s that time of the semester where everyone is overwhelmed with finals and projects.Fear not, like Miss Ebony said: “stay positive”.
Guest speaker Paul Maurer, co-founder and chairman of Re-Tree WNY
This was sponsored by the Earth club and was proven to be a truly rewarding experience. Maurer is part of a nonprofit organization that’s goal is to plant a total of 30,000 trees around Buffalo area. This is necessary, due to a tragic storm in 2006 that destroyed many leaf -laden trees in Buffalo and Erie County.I was shocked to here about the damage due to the storm. Maurer expressed that it was important to educate the neighborhood about the proper way to take care of these new trees. That it was important to call these tress their own.I thought that the many fundraiser ideas were great, especially because clubs are cut due to low funds.These innovative grass root ideas may influence students to start a revolution. It just takes one small person with one big idea to start a revolution. He expressed that it was our job as a community to fight for our earth. I was impressed by his devotion to this cause. I feel that many students expressed a desire to get involved in these community efforts.

America Recycles…and so does GCC!

GCC Batavia / Forum
Don’t forget to collect some gently used winter wear, magazines, old cell phones, and dry cell batteries and bring it to the GCC forum. One man’s junk is another man’s treasure, as they say. Why not make use of some items that haven’t been used in months. Don’t be part of the problem be part of the solution. This will be one small step to ending a national problem. If everyone helps out and brings just one or two items, this will make a huge difference in the events success. I personally am planning on rounding up some magazines to help this great cause!
UPCOMING Documentary!
Forks and Knives

This claims that diseases can be controlled and the cause of these illnesses are due to animal based menu items and processed foods. I’m taking food and nutrition currently and these types of documentaries interest me.Check out this website and maybe this will interest you as well.
College Applications
Last night I applied for two colleges Canisius College and Medaille College. For the typical second year busy GCC student this is necessary to ensure a students future. There’s a lot to think about campus tours, applications, and scholarship opportunities. So if your a second year student it’s important to get started now!
