Iowa State University celebrates 150 years
with community service projects
Iowa State University (ISU) alumni, 4-H members, Master Gardeners,
Extension staff and other friends of Extension celebrated Iowa State
University’s
150th birthday Saturday, June 9, and Sunday, June 10, by painting
the Sadler House in Old Town on the Woodbury County Fairgrounds. Woodbury
County Extension hosted the event. Nancy and Jack Burright made the
necessary preparations for the crew.
“We are proud of the quality of education that exists with Iowa
State University, and we wanted to give back something of value in our
county in honor of the birthday,” said Woodbury County Extension
Education Director Sherry McGill. “I am so thankful to everyone
who made the ISU sesquicentennial community service project a success!
It was wonderful to bring together alumni, 4-H members, Master Gardeners
and staff for such a great and meaningful project.” Each of the
Extension offices in the 99 counties will be completing community enrichment
projects in honor of ISU’s sesquicentennial.
Carol Gieske, a staff member from Iowa State University, came to assist
in the community service project and presented a beautiful plaque to
commemorate ISU’s sesquicentennial and the work completed.
ISU Extension-Woodbury County will also be a part of a playground build
day at Chris Larsen Park in Sioux City on Saturday, September 15, 2007.
This will be in partnership with the Sioux City Parks and Recreation Department.
