1999 Tuesday night in the Russell

AAAS President Rico Reed began
the meeting by thanking members for
participating in Monday's Martin Luther
King Jr. Day of Service.
About 60 students signed up with
AAAS to join in the march and visit the
Epworth Children's Home on Millwood
Avemue.
"[The day of service] helped make
this holiday more profound for students
and gave Martin Luther King Jr. Day
more of a meaning instead of just a day
off from school," AAAS Vice President
Felicia Richburg said.
Projpct coordinators discussed
prospective projects for upcoming meetings
and for Black History Month.
