Last night, our coordinating team and a few volunteers enjoyed meeting about 50 university students at an event to promote a trip to the Camino Santiago in Spain this summer.  The group sponsoring the Camino trip have kindly offered to promote Serve the City and to also use the ‘pilgrimage’ as an opportunity to raise some much needed funds for our volunteering efforts with Serve the City.  

The basement of Doyles’ Pub on College Street served as a perfect venue for the Spanish tapas-themed promotional event.  During the course of the evening, information about the Camino Santiago was given and our own Alan McElwee was granted the opportunity to explain the vision of Serve the City to the group of students.  Currently we are in discussions with the trip’s organizers to have their Camino participants join Serve the City for a ‘Third Saturday Service Day’ in April.  We look forward to having university students involved in serving their city!
