I hope everyone is having a nice relaxing summer. I just wanted to give a little update on what Impact has been up to this summer.
In June a few members visited Marbridge Ranch, an assisted living facility for adults with cognitive disabilities. We spent the morning playing kickball. Our teams were the Dodgers versus the Mets. Everyone had a lot of fun! One of the best parts was cooling off with a popsicles after the game. The residents look forward to us returning in the fall to play Bingo!
Our July event was this past weekend. We worked with Austin Habitat for Humanity to help build a house for an amazing woman named Janie and her 3 year old son Julian. It was the first day of the build so we were there when the first wall went up, which was really neat! It was a lot of hard work but so much fun! At the end of the day our site manager said our team finished in one day what usually gets done in 2 days.

I for one really enjoyed the experience and can't wait to be apart of another build in the future.
Enjoy the rest of your summer and keep checking your email for news of more Impact events and information about the fall semester.
Sincerely,
Christine Nguyen
Impact Secretary
